November 1, 2006: Clearing the queue, day two: nature at work in Alaska
I do in fact have more queue here! This is the Cleveland Volcano, photographed from the ISS and detailed by NASA here. Quote:
This is another image of "cloud streets", which IotD first documented here. |

I'd like to see a broader view because all three islands are volcanoes, judging from the shape and snow pattern.

The Cleveland Volcano would be an excellent name for a sports team, or a bar.

Okay, this is weird, but at first glance, seeing just the top of the image, these looked like mushrooms to me . . . but that was pre-tea . . .

Thanks for the images Bruce! The volcanoes look wonderful. It looks like Herbert had a big explosion with a lovely large crater as evidence. Now I want to fly over the Aleutians on a clear day.

Hey, CaMama! What part of the Left Coast are you in, anyway? I'm a native Californian (although I moved away when I was three...).

There's a steam plume coming off of Mt Cleveland in Bruce's pic, too. Cool.

How about Great Circles? The navigation routes - shortest distance between 2 points - are figured on great circles, but I don't have a globe handy to figure them out.
