Taal Volcano blanketed in ash

The Philippines’ Taal volcano erupted on 12 January 2020 - the ash plume approximately 15 km high forced large-scale evacuations. This almost cloud-free image was captured today 23 January at 02:20 GMT (10:20 local time) by the Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission, and shows the island, in the centre of the image, completely covered in a thick layer of ash.
