This photograph of the eruption of Kliuchevskoi volcano, Kamchatka,
Russia was taken by space shuttle Endeavour astronauts during the early
hours of the eruption on September 30, 1994. The ash plume, which reached
heights of more than 18 kilometers (50,000 feet), is emerging from a vent
on the north flank of Kliuchevskoi, partially hidden by the plume and its
shadow in this view. The photograph is oriented with north toward the
bottom, for comparison with the Spaceborne Imaging Radar C/X-Band
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SIR-C/X-SAR) image (kliuch.htm) that
was acquired a few days later. Near the center of the photo, a small
whitish steam plume may be seen emanating from the growing lava dome of a
companion volcano, Bezymianny.
