Picture of the day

From the NASA Earth Observatory comes this look at two volcanoes, Bezymianny and Klyuchevskaya, erupting simultaneously in Kamchatka and spewing out 3.5 mile high smoke plumes.

Is the planet about to be covered in ash? Is Kamchatka? Are there even any people there? Where is Kamchatka? What's a volcano? These are all important questions that will need to be figured out in the upcoming days. For now it just seem s as if the double volcano thing is just a normal occurrence and life on this planet and in Kamchatka (Indonesia? India? Russia? I'm too lazy to look it up) will continue to go on as normal.
