Satellite view of Kamchatka Peninsula, Eastern Russia
December 19, 2011 - Snow blankets most of the Kamchatka peninsula, but the relatively dark area likely results from that ares lower elevation and resulting lighter snow cover. Acquired two days shy of the winter solstice, this scene shows low-angled sunlight that causes several volcanoes to cast long shadows to the north.
Many of the volcanoes on Kamchatka are stratovolcanoes, tall, steep-sloped, and conical. Klyuchevskaya (also Kliuchevskoi) is the tallest, rising to 15, 863 feet. Klyuchevskaya is generally regarded as Kamchatks most active volcano, but Bezymianny, Kizimen, Karymsky, and Shiveluch all remain active. In this image, Shiveluch emits a discernible plume that blows toward the south-southwest
