An image of Earth...

from space showing recent volcanic activity at Kilauea volcano, Hawaii in early December 2009 (click to enlarge). Plumes emanate from Halema‘uma‘u Crater (upper left) and Pu‘u O‘o Crater (center right). The smallest plume (to the right of Pu‘u O‘o) marks the Thanksgiving Eve Breakout Vent that formed in 2007.
