Description
ISS015-E-16913 (10 July 2007) --- Shiveluch Volcano, Kamchatka, Russian Far East is featured in this image photographed by an Expedition 15 crewmember on the International Space Station. Shiveluch is one of the biggest and most active of a line of volcanoes along the spine of the Kamchatka peninsula in easternmost Russia. In turn the volcanoes and peninsula are part of the tectonically active "Ring of Fire" that almost surrounds the Pacific Ocean, denoted by active volcanoes and frequent earthquakes. Shiveluch occupies the point where the northeast-trending Kamchatka volcanic line intersects the northwest-trending Aleutian volcanic line. Junctions such as this are typically points of intense volcanic activity. According to scientists, the summit rocks of Shiveluch have been dated at approximately 65,000 years old. Lava layers on the sides of the volcano reveal at least 60 major eruptions in the last 10,000 years, making it the most active volcano in the 2,200 kilometer distance that includes the Kamchatka peninsula and the Kuril island chain. Shiveluch rises from almost sea level to well above 3,200 miles (summit altitude 3,283 miles) and is often capped with snow. In this summer image however, the full volcano is visible, actively erupting ash and steam in late June or early July, 2007. The dull brown plume extending from the north of the volcano summit is most likely a combination of ash and steam (top). The two larger white plumes near the summit are dominantly steam, a common adjunct to eruptions, as rain and melted snow percolate down to the hot interior of the volcano. The sides of the volcano show many eroded stream channels. The south slope also reveals a long sloping apron of collapsed material, or pyroclastic flows. Such debris flows have repeatedly slid down and covered the south side of the volcano during major eruptions when the summit lava domes explode and collapse (this occurred during major eruptions in 1854 and 1964). Regrowth of the forest on the south slope (note the contrast with the eastern slope) has been foiled by the combined effects of continued volcanic activity, instability of the debris flows and the short growing season.

Untitled folding detailed transportation map of Russia in Europe, dissected into 32 segments 23.5x13.5, and backed with linen. Including the mileage between town, also features the early stages of Russia’s railway system. With 6 Inset plans of St. Petersburg; Moscow; Riga, today in Latvia; Warsaw, today in Poland; Nizhniy Novgorod and map of Russia in Asia. The inset map depicts all of Asian Russia, from the Urals to Kamchatka, and delineates the main transcontinental road system which extended from Yekaterinburg, on the eastern slope of the Urals, all the way across to Okhotsk, on the Pacific, and then beyond to Kamchatka, showing precise mileage between stations along the transcontinental route throughout. Published by the St. Petersburg bookseller J.A. Jungmeister. While the map’s title is missing, Jungmeister’s name appears below the blank space where the title was intended to have been engraved, an imprint appears, in the upper left margin, noting that the map was printed in St. Petersburg on March 19, 1854.The map is one of the earliest maps to delineate all of the Russian Empire’s major roads in exacting detail, and as the legend explains on the right, the roads are classified into three categories: major post roads (highways); regional roads; and rural (dirt) roads. The map gives the precise mileage between the towns along each road, a detail very seldom seen on Russian road maps of the period. The coverage of roads, with mileage, even extends a ways into neighboring countries, also showing first major railway lines. Map depicts all of European Russia, extends onto Scandinavia, parts of Central Europe, Romania and the Caucuses. Showing oblasts (provinces), cities and towns. Map appears to be an unfinished proof state of an intended final publication. Most notably, a great blank space remains in the far upper left corner where the title was intended to have been placed.

Important military map covering nearly the whole of European Russia and parts of neighboring countries, by the famous Russian military cartographer Theodor Friedrich Schubert [Fedor Fedorovic Subert] (1789-1865). Title from sheet III. At a scale of about 1:1,400,000, in 15 sheets (our other two editions of this map have a 16th sheet, Tiflis, that was not present in this set, nor shown on the Index Sheet). Includes an index sheet, with title "Squelette der Kriegsstrassenkarte von Russland". Each sheet 41x 66 cm. or smaller, folded into 8 or 10 segments and mounted on linen, placed in slip cover and cardboard case 20 x 14. With a library note placed on the case. It gives a detailed view of the topography, roads, waterways, military colonies, old fortifications, etc., covering from the northern part of the Black Sea (including the entire Crimean) to Archangelsk on the Arctic, and from Finland and Poland to the Ural mountains. Each part has its own border and scales, but they are designed so that they could be cut up and fitted together to make a very large wall map. The extensive key below the title on sheet 3, gives symbols for cities, villages, etc. (8 levels), churches and monasteries, fortresses and other military sites, political boundaries (4 levels plus the boundaries of military colonies), roads (6 kinds, in part to indicate whether they could be used during the winter), postal stations, lighthouses, etc. After the German terms, the key gives a transliteration of the Russian in parentheses. It also indicates four colors (added by hand) for three different kinds of roads and the railway line. The first part of Russia's first railway, between St Petersburg and the Czar's residence at Tsarskoye Selo, opened in September 1837, the year the Vienna edition of the map was first published. This line is not printed on the map, but has been drawn in green in accordance with the key. The much longer line between St Petersburg and Moscow was completed in 1851 and does ap
