Its neighboring volcano, Bezymianny, began to erupt on January 13, 2004. Though the eruption has subsided, a small plume of ash is still visible in this false-color image. The Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) on the Terra satellite captured this image on January 21, 2004.

Another image is also available showing a wider area around these volcanoes.
