I tried to find this on Google Earth, but that cannot find "Cleveland Volcano, Alaska" or "Chuginadak Island". The Lat & Long given in the site liinked to from APOD, http://volcano.und.edu/vwdocs/volc_imag ... eland.html puts it on the wrong side of the subduction zone, about 70 miles south of the Aleutian chain. Where is it, please?

Aleutian Arc:
Most Alaskan volcanoes are in the Aleutian Arc which extends approximately 2,500 kilometers along the southern edge of the Bering Sea and Alaskan mainland. This classic volcanic arc contains some 80 Quaternary stratovolcanoes and calderas. Aleutian arc volcanism is the result of subduction of the Pacific Plate beneath the North American Plate. The 3,400-kilometer-long Aleutian trench that extends from the northern end of the Kamchatka trench to the Gulf of Alaska marks the boundary between the two plates.

Hello Qev

Darn my comp cannot search google.

I have been too busy to get my comp fixed.

Volacnoes are so interesting.

Io the moon of Jupiter is the most volcanic of all the planets and moons.
The gravity of Jupiter and the rotation of Io makes the crust move against the mantle creating friction and volanic activity.

Io in true colour.

Io was a maiden who was loved by Zeus (Jupiter) and transformed into a heifer in a vain attempt to hide her from the jealous Hera.

Thank you, Qev!

It's almost more spectacular when seen on Google Earth, and you can see that perfect, conical shape and 'fly' around it. No plume though, of course.
