November 1, 2006: Clearing the queue, day two: nature at work in Alaska

[Undertoad]

I do in fact have more queue here! This is the Cleveland Volcano, photographed from the ISS
and detailed by NASA here.

This image, acquired shortly after the beginning of the eruption, captures the ash plume
moving west-southwest from the summit vent. The eruption was short-lived; the plume
had completely detached from the volcano summit two hours later. Ash plumes from
Cleveland Volcano have reached heights of 12 kilometers and can present a hazard to
trans-Atlantic jet flights. The fog bank visible at image top center is a common feature
of the Aleutian volcanoes. Cleveland Volcano, situated on the western half of
Chuginadak Island, is one of the most active of the volcanoes in the Aleutian Island
chain extending west-southwest from the Alaska mainland.

This is another image of "cloud streets", which IotD first documented here.
