Two eruptions at a time!

ESA's Envisat satellite received an unconventional image on March 7: In the Kamchatka peninsula, in Russia, two volcanic eruptions occurred simultaneously. They are the volcanoes Kliutxevskoi and Shivel>, and the two are the layer volcanoes. This means that these volcanoes have two types of underlying layers, alternatively: layers of lava and stones scattered by the volcano itself.
The image was taken by the MERIS spectrometer, an ESA satellite that investigates solar radiation reflected by the terrestrial surface. This satellite can study the entire terrestrial surface for three days and, in this case, has served to detect a surprising phenomenon. Rarely have two eruptions been observed simultaneously.
