Under The Plume

Even though the eruption is 100km (62mi) away, the vog plume has been windblown in our direction all day
Although the sun is shining, the combination of toxic gases in the air has changed its light to sickly orange, and the clouds are strange and unusual
The steam from the #volcano is mixed with sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide and many others. These filter the sunlight to produce otherworldly effects.

Sunset behind a mountain range with glaciers dropping to ground level. The foreground is indistinct brown pasture land. The sky is filled with darkening orange cloud with some lighter patches showing through which would usually, at this time of night, be darkening blue but instead are shades of yellow and grey. It's strangely beautiful.

Another colour photo, this time looking away from the sun. The sky is filled with odd grey clouds, lit from above. Between them, a fine blue misty veil is visible against the clear sky. The base of the shot is a range of mountains, one of which is Herðubreið.

A colour photo of a sky filled with greyish orange clouds. There's a range of mountains at the bottom of the shot. The sun is shining through the cloud, producing a strange orange light. There are sunbeams across the clouds but even these are slightly unfamiliar.

The overnight eruption of the Krasheninnikov Volcano in Kamchatka, its first in 600 years, may be connected to the huge earthquake that rocked Russia's Far East last week. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/08/03/world/kamchatka-quake-causes-volcano/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #kamchatka #volcano #earthquake

"But when a black-faced cloud the world doth threat,
In his dim mist the aspiring mountain hiding,
From earth's dark womb some gentle gust doth get,
Which blows these pitchy vapours from their biding,
Hindering their present fall by this dividing."
- #ShakespeareSunday, Rape of Lucrece

The August 2014 - February 2015 #Holuhraun #eruption of Bárðarbunga¹ in south-east central #Iceland, imaged in September 2014.

A final colour photo of the same eruption showing a huge lava plume approximately 80 metres or 260 feet tall. Its base is bright yellow and the top has cooled slightly to chunks of red rock. Rivers of lava are running from it and the smaller vent can be seen in the foreground, yellow-orange and gassy.

A close-up of the main fissure, showing a range of colours within and just outside the fissure indicating the temperature. The centre lava domes are yellow and white, around the circumference is orange and red leading to cooler brown. Clouds of dense steam and gas are escaping.

Another colour photo of the same eruption seen from the opposite side but still upwind of the fissure. More of the surrounding landscape is visible, including a second, smaller fissure beyond the main vent and a further rift on the nearside edge of the vent which has stopped effusing but is still releasing gases. In the distance is the surface of a glacier.

A colour photo of a wide split in a dark uneven surface of lava. Molten magma is erupting in a curtain from the base of the split. Streams of lava are running away from the main fissure and clouds of gas and steam are climbing towards the top right corner. A helicopter can be seen hovering very close to the eruption.
