Catching up for my absence, the "Earth Observatory" had these three views of volcanoes taken from space. Click on each to go to the accompanying article page, which has high-resolution version links.
Mt. Etna
Mt. Fuji
Colima (Mexico)
And here's a no-image link to an article and image about a big Sahara sandstorm going out to sea: Sahara Dust Sweeps Past Canary Islands
TOPICS: Arts/Photography; Astronomy; Education; Outdoors; Science
KEYWORDS: colima; etna; fujiyama; hazards; volcanoes
I recommend the high-res pictures of Etna and Colima; lots of detail there. Interesting how close the inhabited areas around Etna come to the lava flows (which has been a problem for centuries).
