  1. Boom or what????
    Being in the right place at the right time…..
    The circular hole in the clouds from the shock wave is also a feature of nuclear blasts….
    What is novel is a picture of the pyroclastic flow from above……

  2. Hah, must be the North Koreans for all you conspiracy theorists! The lack of Russian diplomatic response is troubling though, must be vodka night with the radar crew.
    Yep, pretty well defined shock wave, with the classic mushroom cloud.
    How many rubles for those Goracular carbon credits?
    There goes the whole cap n trade debacle up in smoke!

  3. If that volcano was in BC, the government would be able to generate revenue from it.

  4. Ok that is how you impact the atmosphere. Are you Greenies looking at this? That is a forcing in the atmosphere.
    Great Shot! I am making it my wallpaper so I can feel humbled and small becuase I am getting kinda uppity of late.

  5. dang it, just when we thought we had mother earth starting to get on the mend, we go and do this, shame on us, the greenies are going to ticked.

  6. Uh oh, all that extra cr*p in the air of an already cooling planet can only exacerbate the cooling trend.
    Heck, I didn’t really like cycling in September anyway so with all the cooling, I won’t have to worry about it in a few years. 😉

  7. Now that thar is way cool! I wonder if, for a brief moment, the photographer was wondering if he/she was high enough above the eruption? Logically impossible I know but I’ve found myself disoriented at times looking at events through a lens. Seeing a bull and cowboy coming at the fence I was shooting through comes to mind. (still have bull snot on my camera bag, eh)

  8. oh no. is global cooling all over again. what will we do, what will we do. i for one will sit back and have a cold beer.

  9. It kinda looks like a popcorn fart launching from Gores rectum… Could be the Fruit fly guy, in the shadow, wearing nothing but high heels.

  10. “White steam”? Even Wiki isn’t that lame.
    Guess the volcano isn’t privately owned or there would be mention of “pollution equivalent to 10 million huge SUVs being driven to the moon and back every day by rich white people who hate the environment”.
