Eruption of Chikurachki Volcano, Eastern Russia

On April 25, 2003, the Chikurachki Volcano was continuing to erupt in the Kuril Islands between Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula and Japan. The streamer of gray ash can be seen blowing southward over the Pacific Ocean in this Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) from the Terra satellite.
