Portugal, 1957
Photograph by Robert F. Sisson
A column of black ash and steam rises over the village of Capelo on the Azores island of Faial.
The source of this 1957 eruption, an undersea volcano just off Faial's southern shore called Ilha Nova, sent car-sized boulders into the air, covered Capelo in ash, and created a new island that eventually connected with Faial and lengthened the island by more than half a mile (0.8 kilometers).

Black Ash and steam on Azores
Doesn't this remind you of yesterday's photograph?
