Klyuchevskaya Volcano, Russia October 1994. In this spectacular image, the snow-covered Klyuchevskaya Volcano and its shadow (center of the image) can be seen in this north-looking view. The week before this image was acquired, Klyuchevskaya had one of its largest eruptions in over 45 years, depositing ash on its summit and to the southeast of the volcano.

The volcano is the highest mountain in eastern Russia and it is part of the Pacific “Ring of Fire.” Across the top of the image, the Kamchatka River is discernible
