Description: The Shiveluch Volcano on Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula released a small plume of vapor as the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) on NASA’s Terra satellite passed overhead. The steam plume blowing northward away from the volcano nearly matches the snowy white surface of the surrounding land, but ash fall from earlier eruptions has stained the volcano’s slopes dark brown. In this kind of false-colour image, vegetation appears red.
