An incredible 3D image captured by an astronaut in the International Space Station as it passed over the Sarychev Peak volcanic eruption on June 12, 2009.
Astronaut photograph ISS020-E-9048 was acquired on June 12, 2009, with a Nikon D2XS digital camera fitted with a 400 mm lens, and is provided by the ISS Crew Earth Observations experiment and Image Science & Analysis Laboratory, Johnson Space Center.

Øbama must put a stop to these events, or at least tax them into compliance, as they may be one of the major causes of global warming... or cooling maybe?

I have been looking at the photos as they come out on the net. Wish I could see this video.

Obama threatened to tax the eruption to which the volcano replied.

D2XS is not a bad camera, but you'd think that people going to space wouldn't take a 5 year old body with them...
Cracking pictures though.
