NASA. LARGE FORMAT. Unlike some of its perpetually active neighbors on the Kamchatka Peninsula, the Raikoke volcano in the Kuril Islands rarely erupts. The small oval-shaped island had its last explosions in 1778 and 1924. The dormant period ended around 4:00 a.m. local time on June 22, 2019, when a vast plume of volcanic ash and gas rose from its 700-meter-wide crater. Several satellites - as well as astronauts from the International Space Station - observed the rise of a thick plume, which then headed eastward as it was pulled into the circulation of a storm in the North Pacific. On the morning of June 22, the astronauts took a picture of the volcanic plume rising in a narrow column, then spreading out into a part of the plume known as the umbrella region. This is the area where the density of the plume and the surrounding air equalizes and the plume stops rising. The ring of clouds at the base of the column appears to be water vapor.Vintage chromogenic print. Numbering on the front. Legend on label on the back. 40,6 x 40,6CM with margins.
