Activity at Klyuchevskoy Volcano

An astronaut captured this view of an eruption plume amidst a chain of volcanoes on Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula.


Astronaut photograph ISS038-E-5515 was acquired on November 16, 2013, with a Nikon D3X digital camera using a 1200 millimeter lens, and is provided by the ISS Crew Earth Observations experiment and Image Science & Analysis Laboratory, Johnson Space Center. The image was taken by the Expedition 38 crew. It has been cropped and enhanced to improve contrast, and lens artifacts have been removed. The International Space Station Program supports the laboratory as part of the ISS National Lab to help astronauts take pictures of Earth that will be of the greatest value to scientists and the public, and to make those images freely available on the Internet. Additional images taken by astronauts and cosmonauts can be viewed at the NASA/JSC Gateway to Astronaut Photography of Earth. Caption by William L. Stefanov, Jacobs at NASA-JSC.
