From 400 kilometers
<A href="http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/realdata/tracking/index.html">above
planet Earth</A>, the Expedition 20 Crew
onboard the International Space Station
(<A href="http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap090406.html">ISS</A>) was able to witness a
remarkable event from a remarkable vantage point --
the June 12 eruption of the
<A href="http://www.volcano.si.edu/world/
volcano.cfm?vnum=0900-24=">Sarychev Peak Volcano</A>.
The active volcano is located in Russia's
<A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuril_Islands">Kuril Island chain</A>,
stretching to the northeast of Japan.
Emphasizing the orbital perspective, this stunning color
<A href="http://www.tridi.be/">stereo view</A>
was made by combining two
<A href="http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/NaturalHazards/
view.php?id=38985">images from the ISS</A> and is
intended to be viewed with
<A href="http://mpfwww.jpl.nasa.gov/MPF/mpf/glasses.html">red/blue
glasses</A> (red for the left eye).
Punching upwards into the atmosphere at an early stage of the eruption,
the volcanic plume features a brown column of ash topped with a smooth,
bubble-like, white cloud that is likely water condensation.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/8DB7A1EC-10C0-47B4-A799-30421DE66A15/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
