HD Zoom on New Icelandic Volcano Blast

From NBC Bay Area’s Rob Mayeda – NASA released new spectacular images of Eyjafjallajokull‘s newest eruption plume. You can clearly see the main ash cloud streaming off to the SSE near a band of mid/high level clouds.From NASA: “After more than a week of relatively subdued activity in late April, Iceland?s Eyjafjallajokull Volcano began a fresh round of explosive ash eruptions in the first week of May. On the morning of May 6, 2010, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA?s Terra satellite captured this view of a thick plume of ash blowing east and then south from the volcano. Clouds bracket the edges of the scene, but the dark blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean show in the middle, and above them, a rippling, brownish-yellow river of ash.”
