The eruption happened on a Russian island in the North Pacific.
Thank to the photographs taken from the space (actually from the ISS at 220 miles above the Earth), we can enjoy this magnificent event.

This series of pictures shows a Hashima Island which is one of the Japanese uninhabited islands. The island was populated from 1887 to 1974 as a coal mining facility. After the mine was closed the island was abandoned.
The first part of photos is from 1974 when it was still populated. And the second one shows the deserted island.
