On June 12, the International Space Station orbited over the Kuril islands just after a major eruption occurred. For more information, check out the NASA Earth Observatory Image of the Day for June 22 (http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/IOTD/view.php?id=38985).

The image and video is spectacular and has vulcanologists debating some of the phenomena observed. I just think it's cool... :cool:

That's got to be one of the most awesome pictures I've ever seen.
