Volcano Euboea Fluctus On Io
Jupiter's moon Io is the most geologically active body in our Solar System. The Voyager 1 spacecraft photographed the volcano Euboea Fluctus in 1979, and the Galileo spacecraft captured further images in 1996. These images show significant changes in the volcanic activity over time.
