<P>Bird's eye view: Safe from harm, NASA scientists look down on
the Sarychev Peak volcano as the dramatic eruption takes place.
The force of the blast sends clouds scattering</P>
<H2 style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal">The round hole in the clouds is
thought to have been caused by the shockwave of the initial
explosion. At the centre lies the billowing mushroom tower of
grey and brown ash. <BR></H2>
<H2 style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal">For volcano experts, the most
exciting part of the image is the layer of smooth white cloud
that caps the plume - a little like a layer of snow on a
mushroom. </H2>
<H2 style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal">This cap of condensed air is
created from the rapid rising and then cooling of the air
directly above the ash column.. When moist, warm air rises
quickly it creates a cloud. </H2>

<P>As the ISS continues its perfectly-timed flyby, the eruption
continues unabated. The perfect 'plume' at the top of the
volcano implies there is no shearing wind, which would have
disrupted the pattern</P>

<P>Stretching behind the volcano lies the vast shadow caused by
the eruption, as the blast continues to grow</P>
<H2 style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal">This cap, which meteorologists
call a pileus cloud, is already beginning to break up in these
images - and would have vanished soon afterwards. </H2>
<H2 style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal">Far below, a thunderous line of
light grey cloud can be seen falling down the sloping sides of
the volcano. <BR></H2>
<H2 style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal">This is a deadly pyroclastic
flow - a mixture of hot gas and ash that destroys everything in
its path. <BR></H2>
<H2 style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal">Reaching temperatures of 600C
(1,112F) and moving at 130mph, a pyroclastic flow is the most
dangerous part of a volcanic eruption. </H2><BR>

<P>Where in the world? Sarychev Peak is to the north of Japan
and east of Russia<BR></P></DIV>
<H2 style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal">Thankfully, Matua Island is
uninhabited. The eruption of Sarychev Peak began a week ago and
is still under way. The International Space Station has
continued to track the ash cloud over the last few days. </H2>
<H2 style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal">The plume is a few hundred miles
from one of the world's busiest air corridors. Hundreds of
flights across the Pacific have been diverted to avoid any
chance of it knocking out plane engines.</H2>
<H2 style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal">Sarychev Peak is one of the most
active volcanoes in Russia's Kuril archipelago. Eruptions have
been recorded as far back as the 1700s, with the last known one
in 1989. <BR></H2>
