Shiveluch Volcano on the Kamchatka Peninsula of eastern Russia released a plume in early August 2009. Acquired on August 3, 2009, this true-color image shows a gray-beige plume blowing away from the summit and over the Bering Sea.
When the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite captured this image of Shiveluch Volcano on March 11, an ash trail was visible on the snowy landscape of the Kamchatka Peninsula.
