A photograph of one such lavender sunset is shown on the SpaceWeather.com website.

The photo is compliments of Steven Hallgren, who photographed the sunset on June 29, 2009, from Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.

Hallgren stated, "With all the talk of volcanic sunsets, I had to take a look for myself. The purple was out in full force." [SpaceWeather.com]

Check out the photographs taken by various photographers at Volcanic Sunsets: Sarychev Peak 2009 [SpaceWeather.com].

Check out the Volcanism Blog for more information on the Sarychev Peak explosion.

Dr. Ralph Harrington, the owner of the blog, states, "More information is available on the ongoing eruption of the Russian volcano Sarychev Peak, which is located on Matua Island in the Kuril Islands."

And, "According to an update today from the Sakhalin Volcanic Eruption Response Team (SVERT), the organization which keeps an eye on the Kuril volcanoes, the eruption which began on Friday 12 June 2009, is an event of significant magnitude."
