OK, most of us have heard that Alaska's Redoubt volcano has been erupting. The redoubtable crew behind Stromboli On-line, who have an enviable travel budget, took some remarkable pictures of some phases of the eruption. Two examples are below; try the link underneath the picture for more.

Alaska (in case you can't figure it out, click the image links dated either "4 April 2009" or "4-7 April 2009".

La Cumbre volcano, which is basically the entire island of Fernandina in the Galapagos, had a class "curtain of fire" fissure eruption over the past few days, which might still be continuing. Picture below, and then go to the link for an impressive video.
