Image Caption:
S39-77-010 Kamchatka Peninsula, USSR. This oblique view of the
eastern margin of the Kamchatka Peninsula shows pack-ice along
the coast, which is drifting along with local currents and del-
ineates the circulation patterns. Also visable are the Kamchatka
River (left of center), and the volcanic complex with the active
volcano Klyuchevskaya (Kloo-chevs'-ska-ya), 15584 ft in eleva-
tion: The last reported eruption of Klyuchevskaya was on April
8, but an ash and steam plume can be seen on this photograph ex-
tending to the south . The photograph was taken on 4/28. Just
one day later, the STS-39 crew photographed the volcano again,
and it was no longer visably active. However, the flanks of the
mountain are dirty from the ash fall (which shows up easily on
the snow). Just north of the Kamchatka River (to the left, just
off the frame) is another volcano which was active in early
April, Shiveluch. There are more than 100 volcanic edifaces
recognized on Kamchatka, 15 of them are classified as active.
The plume is roughly 1000m high and extends for around 50 km.
Klyuchevskaya, Volcano, Kamchatka Peninsula, CIS (56.0N, 160.5E) is one of several active volcanoes in the CIS and is 15,584 ft. in elevation. Fresh ash fall on the south side of the caldera can be seen as a dirty smudge on the fresh snowfall. Just to the north of the Kamchatka River is Shiveluch, a volcano which had been active a short time previously. There are more than 100 volcanic edifices recognized on Kamchatka, 15 of which are still active.
