Takawangha Volcano, Alaska

This false-color satellite view presents Takawangha, a 1,450-meter stratovolcano on Tanaga Island in Alaska’s Aleutian chain. The island appears in vivid red against the dark surrounding ocean, while pale clouds, snow, and ice gather around the volcanic summit.

Acquired by the ASTER instrument aboard NASA’s Terra spacecraft, the image records the island across visible and infrared wavelengths. Its heightened color reveals volcanic terrain, coastal contours, lakes, and surface differences while preserving the character of the original scientific observation.
