Summary

Description
English: This photograph provides a view of an eruption plume emanating from Kliuchevskoi, one of the many active volcanoes on the Kamchatka Peninsula. The image was taken when the ISS was located over a ground position more than 1,500 kilometers (900 miles) to the southwest. The plume—likely a combination of steam, volcanic gases, and ash—stretched to the east-southeast due to prevailing winds. The dark region to the north-northwest is likely a product of shadows and of ash settling out. Several other volcanoes are visible in the image, including Ushkovsky, Tolbachik, Zimina, and Udina. To the south-southwest of Kliuchevskoi lies Bezymianny Volcano, which appears to be emitting a small steam plume (at image center). (Move the mouse pointer over the image to see annotations).
Русский: Извержение Ключевской Сопки. Изображение сделано с МКС, расположенной над точкой в 1500 километрах на юго-запад от вулкана. Столб, состоящий из пара, газов, и пепла, простирается на восток-юго-восток, влекомый преимуществующими ветрами. Потемнение на северо-северо-востоке вызвано, вероятно, пеплопадом. Также видны (слева направо) вулканы Плоская Дальняя, Безымянный (с небольшим извержением, в центре), Толбачик, Зимина, и Большая Удина.
