Volcanic eruption filmed from space
More space-based stuff – this time an amazing video of Sarychev Volcano (Kuril Islands, northeast of Japan) in an early stage of eruption on June 12, 2009. It was filmed from the International Space Station.
It’s breathtaking. The speed of the Space Station gives it a full 3-D look. You can see the a pyroclastic flow descending and a vigorously rising eruption plume.
You can find high-resolution images of the same event at NASA’s Earth Observatory site.
