Stromboli On-Line ^

[cogitator]

One hint: this is normally a place you wouldn't mind visiting.

Also, NASA Earth Observatory has images of the eruption cloud from the eruption at Nyamuragira and a Space Shuttle photograph of the Mauna Loa caldera. Kilauea Eruption Update has some new ocean entry pictures from last week.

Hawaii? I can't think of the island name, but one of the islands has a barren moonscape type area.

[Becki]

My guess is Washington State, the aftermath of Mt. St. Helens.

Can I go look now? ;^)

My guess would be this is Monserrat and the beach-front huts have been buried by ashfalls from the Souifre (sp?) volcano...

[Lil'freeper]

Uh, somewhere in Italy? (guessing from the source you list). Definately volcanic in origin- very ashy/tuffy looking.

[RANGERAIRBORNE]

I am going to guess that this is on the island of Martinique- by the shape of the roofs, and the amount of ash and large volcanic debris covering the buildings. I also see a body of water in the distance- the Caribbean??

[N. Theknow]

Hillary's room after cleaning off ole Crusty?

[Rebelbase]

Possibly an Alaskan or Canadian island...very high lattitude?

[Rebelbase]

DUH-OH!

Mt. St. Hellen

[kaysea]

Washington, DC after its cleansing of all corrupt politicians.

[Ben Hecks]

Agree - Japan after a sunami wave caused by earthquake.

[ckilmer]

[ijcr]

I concur, Montserrat.

[cogitator]

Too easy. (But I've been there.) I made my guess
and then checked to see if I was right.

GSMNP, probably CC area.
