Ash stains on Russia's Shiveluch volcano’s slopes.
October 24, 2009 - False-color image showing ash stains on Russia's Shiveluch volcano’s slopes. In this image, volcanic ash appears reddish brown, snow appears white, and shadows appear deep blue-gray. The ash stains are most conspicuous south of the summit. The Sun’s low angle leaves part of the northern face of Shiveluch in shadow. Shiveluch is a stratovolcano composed of alternating layers of solidified ash, hardened lava, and rocks from earlier eruptions. Rising to a height of 3,283 meters (10,770 feet), the volcano ranks among the largest and most active on Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula.
