Summary

Description
English: This multi-temporal image, obtained by combining two Copernicus Sentinel-1 images acquired on 19 and 25 May 2021, shows the lava flow emitted by Nyiragongo volcano in the Democratic Republic of Congo. On 22 May, the Nyiragongo entered in a new eruptive phase. In this particular visualisation, it can be seen that the lava, which appears here in red tones, has travelled about 10 km until it reached the outskirts of the city of Goma and caused severe damage to residential areas. At least 32 casualties were recorded as a consequence of the eruption, and more than 20,000 people were displaced in the surrounding area. The Rapid Mapping component of the Copernicus Emergency Management Service has been activated by the EU's Emergency Response Coordination Centre to monitor the situation. High-resolution open data provided by Copernicus Sentinel satellites allow to monitor volcanic eruptions .
