The Kamchatka Peninsula, which extends into the Sea of Okhotsk (left) and the Bering Sea (right) is home to over a hundred volcanoes, at least a dozen of which are active. In this MODIS image from April 28, 2002, the thermal signature (red dot) detected by MODIS is from the eruption of the Karymsky Volcano, which produced an ash cloud that appears to have coated the volcano9s snow-covered flanks.
