Hi all, Don't know whether I'm posting this in the right place but I just thought I'd share this amazing picture of the Sarychev Volcano on the Kuril Islands taken by the International Space Station.

I'll move this to the astronomy and space forum as its a tad more suited there.
It's an amazing picture alright! I saw it on spaceweather a month or two ago there's a bit more info here
