Mauna Loa’s Fissure 3 gas plume on November 29, 2022
Detailed Description
Mauna Loa’s Fissure 3 gas plume, with rain clouds, as seen from the Saddle Road on November 29, 2022. The orange-brown tint near the vent is due to scattering by aerosols in the plume. The dark gray clouds are a mix of plume with what are called pyrocumulus clouds, or clouds that the volcano itself generated via the intense heating of the air by the erupting fissure.
