Sarychev

I thought this was kinda neat. On June 12 this past year the Russian volcano Sarychev erupted, surprising astronauts aboard the International Space Station, flying a mere 220 miles overhead. The fairly active volcano lies just northeast of Japan, and its fairly active outbursts routinely disrupt air traffic every coupla years. Astronauts took several photos along with video of the event. I was most interested in finding out just how high that volcanic plume rose into the atmosphere (it seems to almost menace the ISS, though I know it really doesn’t), but the three or four sites I went to didn’t seem to have any info on that.
