Karthala is one of two volcanoes that make up Grande Comore (or N'gazidja) Island in the Comoros archipelago. In this image from November 2005, Grande Comore appears only in outline as material from a recent eruption completely obscures the land surface. The volcanic ash ranges in color from tan to beige. The volcano has erupted about 20 times in the last century. Photo courtesy of NASA.
