An image of Earth...

from space showing Sarychev Volcano (Kuril Islands, northeast of Japan) in an early stage of eruption on June 12, 2009 (click to enlarge.) Link to detailed image caption.

Looking ahead: I will be on a voyage to the Kuril Islands next summer with Zegrahm Expeditions as a geologist lecturer/guide and can only hope something like this will be going on!

UPDATE: sulfur dioxide plume map.
