Not much news in the world of volcanoes this week so far. Must be the mid-summer lull in activity as the northern hemisphere heats up (just kidding!) Anyway, I thought I would post a picture of a recently erupting volcano that a friend of mine shared with me. This shot (above, picture by Arkadiy Groshev) was taken on July 25 of this year as Karymsky volcano in Kamchatka was erupting. The volcano emitted ash for ~1 hour that day and it almost seems like a volcano-as-tourist-attraction type of eruption! The group in the picture is the PIRE (Partnership for Volcanological Research and Education) Kamchatka field group and Russians from Moscow State University and the Institute of Volcanology and Seismology in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. The two groups are graduate students and professors who are studying the myriad of volcanoes on the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia. Make you wonder why anyone wouldn't want to study volcanoes?
Thanks to Theresa Kayzar (UW) for providing the picture!

That's a great shot. Almost looks like the group missed the eruption while looking the wrong way having their foto taken. :)

A woman asked me "if I were a car what would I be, a sports car? A classic car? Or an exotic." I replied with, "A rental van because you've had every mans tool inside you, you shhhllllaaaagggg!"
Between me and my husband we've owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I've settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
What a great story, and not just for the success of the team. The way they all work and volunteer together is wonderful, and teaches more about life than many of their classes.
My x-boyfriend thinks it shouldn't be done that way?. I think he's wrong.;)
Your blog reminded me of a great book â it's called 'Understanding Media'. It will blow you away . . . it's all about the internet, only it was written in the 70's.
Good stuff:) I will take a decent amount of time to ponder your post.
