Amirani is the largest active lava flow known in the solar system. The Galileo mission has previously observed many changes in its flows.

The Amirani lava flow on Jupiter's moon Io appears to be made up of many individual flows.

In this infrared image, Amirani includes the two brightest spots and two others closest to that pair. The image also shows three other active volcanoes on Io: Maui (lower left, corresponding to a dark, roughly circular area in the reference image), Dusurra (top, corresponding to the dark, roughly circular area at the top of the reference image) and an unnamed hot spot that appears as an elongated small feature in the reference image between Dussura and the Amirani flow.
