As noted by the American Geophysical Union, the pictures show how much the volcano has changed after the disaster, where a bay has formed from the collapse, along with high levels of sediment in the water surrounding the island.

The first image is from Dec. 17, before the volcano's collapse, while the second image is from Dec. 30, after the landslide.

A final image captured by Planet Labs' SkySat on Jan. 2 shows a much closer look at the bay that's formed, showing the elevation's reduction from 338 metres (1,108 feet) to 110 metres (360 feet).
