On March 29, the Shiveluch Volcano on the Kamchatka Peninsula erupted, sending an ash cloud skyward roughly 32,000 feet. Satellites often capture images of volcanic ash plumes, but usually as the plumes are blowing away. This image, however, is different. It shows the gray-brown ash cloud suspended directly over the summit. [via warren ellis]
