The Soufrière Hills, a volcano on the island of Montserrat, in the Lesser Antilles island chain in the Caribbean Sea, has been active since 1995.
This oblique photograph from the International Space Station (ISS) captures a white-to-gray ash and steam plume extending westwards from the volcano on October 11, 2009. Oblique images are taken by astronauts looking out from the ISS at an angle which gives the scene a more three-dimension quality, and provides a look at the vertical structure of the volcanic plume.

Why do the pictures come out square when the lens is round??
I know! Blowing all that nasty greenhouse gas up into the air! The tree huggers would be up in arms were it not for the fact that volcanoes punch several rather large and inconvenient holes in their ‘truth’
;-)

What an amazing photo. To see the island the the volcano and the smoke like this sure makes it all come together better in my mind. Fantastic to look at . Thanx so much for posting this. Verena
