[:ja]NASAの地球観測衛星Landsat 8が撮影したインドネシア、東ジャワ州シドアルジョ県の泥火山です。
シドアルジョの泥火山は、2006年5月29日に発生した世界最大の泥火山で、泥土噴出事故としても過去最大規模の被害をもたらしました。Lumpur Sidoarjo（Lumpurはインドネシア語で「汚泥」の意）からとってLUSI（ルーシー）と呼ばれています。2006年5月29日、シドアルジョ県[注釈 1]近郊にあった天然ガスの試削現場から高温の汚泥と有毒ガスが噴出し始めました。ジャワ島では泥火山自体は珍しいものではありませんでしたが、ルーシーはこれまでの泥火山と規模が違い、最大で一日あたり18万立方メートルの汚泥を噴出しました。画像の通り、ポロン川下流に泥が流され堆積している様子がわかります。

[Earthview Wonders] No.1024: Sidoarjo Mud Flow (LUSI)🇮🇩
NASA’s Landsat 8 satellite captured Sidoarjo Mud Flow (LUSI), East Java, Indonesia.
The Sidoarjo mud flow or Lapindo mud, abbreviated as LUSI, a contraction of Lumpur Sidoarjo wherein lumpur is the Indonesian word for mud) is the result of an erupting mud volcano in the subdistrict of Porong, Sidoarjo in East Java, Indonesia that has been in eruption since May 2006. It is considered the biggest mud volcano in the world. It is expected that the flow will continue for the next 25 to 30 years. The photo shows the discharged mud was carried to the estuary of Porong River to form sediment.
The local scenery on the ground is as follows.
