About this work
STS077-740-029 (19-29 May 1996) --- In recent years, the most active peak in the High Altiplano of the central Andes Mountains has been Lascar, in northern Chile - featured in this 70mm frame. North is to the left in this picture. Lascar?s largest recent eruption was in April, 1993. The STS-55 crew photographed large dust plumes carrying the newly-deposited ash about one week after the eruption. Since then, astronauts have been closely monitoring Lascar, which remains active.
