 Volcanic Sunsets Observed from Mutare, Zimbabwe in 2022

   August 17, 2022

    121 Volcanic Sunsets 21 January-20 June 2022

   Photographer:  Dr Peter Lowenstein
   Summary Author:  Dr Peter Lowenstein

   From January 21, 2022, when the  sulfur dioxide plume and
    stratospheric aerosols associated with the January 15, 2022,
   eruption of the  Hunga-Tonga Volcano first reached Africa, until
   June 20, 2022, a total of 121 brightly colored volcanic  sunsets
   were recorded as observed from Mutare, Zimbabwe. The mosaic above shows
   the best picture taken on each day that a volcanic  sunset display
   was either directly visible or reflections appeared through thin
   clouds, thereby illustrating a unique 5-month record of ground-based
   observation of the after-effects of a major volcanic eruption on the
   Southern Hemisphere stratosphere.

   Photo details: Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ60 and ZS40 cameras, in sunset or
   manual exposure modes. Montage compiled from two 4K screen captures of
   Windows 10 image thumbnail displays merged with Photoshop Elements 15
   and background changed to grey.
