An Alaskan Volcano Erupts
This image, taken from the International Space Station, shows Alaska's Cleveland Volcano erupting. Astronaut Jeffrey N. Williams was the first to observe and photograph the spectacular ash plume. The eruption was short, lasting about two hours. The Aleutian Islands, where the volcano is located, are known for their volcanic activity.
