A Trilogy of Tremendous Volcanoes
You like href="http://www.universetoday.com/guide-to-space/earth/types-of-volcanoes/" class="alinks_links" title="" rel="external">volcanoes? We've got volcanoes! Three recent images from href="http://www.universetoday.com/guide-to-space/space/" class="alinks_links" title="" rel="external">space show some tremendous volcanoes on href="http://www.universetoday.com/guide-to-space/earth/" class="alinks_links" title="" rel="external">Earth. This very unusual image shows a small href="http://www.universetoday.com/guide-to-space/earth/what-are-volcanoes/" class="alinks_links" title="" rel="external">volcanic plume rising above remote Mount Cleveland on June 1, 2010. The snow-covered upper slopes of the Aleutian href="http://www.universetoday.com/guide-to-space/earth/types-of-volcanoes/" class="alinks_links" title="" rel="external">volcano were also marked by dark debris flow deposits (descending to the east) and href="http://www.universetoday.com/guide-to-space/earth/volcanic-ash/" class="alinks_links" title="" rel="external">ash fall to the south of the summit. This false-color image was acquired by the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) aboard NASA?s Terra satellite. Snow is white, clouds are pink, vegetation is red, and water is almost black. The Alaska href="http://www.universetoday.com/guide-to-space/earth/volcano-observatories/" class="alinks_links" title="" rel="external">Volcano Observatory reported an ash emission above Mount Cleveland no higher than 16,000 feet (4,900 meters) on May 30th. Mount Cleveland is frequently restless, and the current activity is not unusual, but Ash from Cleveland could threaten flights between Asia and North America. Satellites are the best way to monitor the volcano, which is about 900 miles (1,500 kilometers) from Anchorage.
