Galapagos is a GOES 8 volcano monitoring site. As these islands are right on the Equator, they get quite hot in the middle of the day. When combined with cloud edges, and reflections from the ocean, this will generate a number of low level hot spots. The graphs at the bottom of the page reveal the normal levels of these spots. During previous eruptions in this area of Cerro Azul, Fernandina and Sierra Negra, the graphs displayed dramatically higher levels, especially at night.
