    An orbital photograph taken from space showing Earth's surface with a large volcanic ash or dust plume extending diagonally across the frame over a body of water. The plume originates from a point source on a landmass in the upper right and disperses westward or southwestward across what appears to be an ocean or large sea. Snow-covered terrain, coastlines, and cloud formations are visible surrounding the plume.
