From 400 kilometers
above
planet Earth, the Expedition 20 Crew
onboard the International Space Station
(ISS) was able to witness a
remarkable event from a remarkable vantage point --
the June 12 eruption of the
Sarychev Peak Volcano.

The active volcano is located in Russia's
Kuril Island chain,
stretching to the northeast of Japan.
