Yup, as a kid, I had NASA posters all over my room, and have been a sucker for anything space related ever since. On June 12th, 2009, thanks to a serendipitous position in orbit, astronauts at the International Space station were able to get images and video of the Sarychev volcano eruption. The volcano is located on Russia’s Kuril Islands, northeast of Japan. Sarychev Peak is one of the most active volcanoes in the Kuril Island chain, located on the northwestern end of Matua Island. Wow, how cool is this?
