This map illustrates satellite-detectedthermal anomalies (likely active fires and/or volcanic material) across the majority ofthe Nyiragongo volcano. These firelocations were detected by the MODISAqua and Terra satellites covering the timeperiod from 10 April to 4 May 2009. Pleasenote: it is likely that this product has not

recorded all active fires/thermal anomaliesin this area because of dense cloud cover,and / or gaps in satellite coverage, andthus represent a minimum extent of thevolcanic activity. This is a preliminaryanalysis & has not yet been validated inthe field.

Analysis Summary:The satellite-detected thermal anomalies on the Nyiragongovolcano are centered over the main crater and extend up to3km along the eastern and western slopes. These thermalanomalies are likely to represent active fires and /orvolcanic material on the surface of the volcano, and havebeen identified on six separate days over the time period 10April - 4 May 2009. The MODIS satellite image belowrecorded on 4 May shows an volcanic eruption in progress,with a primary westerly outflow direction. This is apreliminary assessment and has not yet been validated onthe ground.
