Examples of VHR TSX Starring SpotLight (ST, 25 cm resolution) images showing details of the island formation during the initial eruption phase (left image: acquisition dates September 24 and 25, 2022), the second island growth (middle image: acquisition dates October 14 and 15, 2023) and the island growth to the east during the fourth eruption phase (right image: acquisition dates June 24 and 25, 2024). The white dashed lines mark the border between the partly eroded 2022 lava flow island and the new lava flows of 2023 and 2024, respectively. Thermal information shown by the overlaid S2 data (false color composite 12/11/8A) shows a migration of the vents towards the south and east, respectively. The third eruption phase is not shown here due to its comparatively low level of activity (cf. Figures 3 and 5). Satellite imagery: TerraSAR-X/TanDEM-X DLR e.V. (2024), Sentinel-2 Copernicus data (2024). Map created using ESRI ArcGIS Pro 3.3 (https://www.esri.com/en-us/arcgis/products/arcgis-pro).
