As in many other northern waters this time of year, the primary producers in the Sea of Okhotsk are turning the water green as can be seen in this SeaWiFS image. The color of the sea surface is somewhat obscured along the eastern side of the sea by what appears to be some sort of aerosol cloud that roughly parallels the western edge of the Kamchatka Peninsula. Sensor: OrbView-2/SeaWiFS. Data Start Date: 5/31/00.

A river of smoke flowed eastward from a cluster of fires burning in Russia’s Far East on October 10, 2005. The fires (marked in red) appear to stretch from the Amur region northward into the Khabarovsk Territory. The smoke plume wafts several hundred kilometers away, across Sakhalin Island and out over the Sea of Okhotsk.

This true-color MODIS image, acquired March 17, 2002, depicts the island of Sakhalin and the Sean of Okhotsk in the Russian Federation. Sea ice still clogs the waters and snow covers the ground. To the south of the Sakhalin lies the Japanese island of Hokkaido, though it is not visible in this image. Sensor: Terra/MODIS. Data Start Date: 3/17/02. Data End Date: 3/17/02.

Several volcanoes on northeastern Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula have been active in February 2005. In mid-month, the peninsula’s most active volcano, Klyuchevskaya, spilled lava down the mountain’s snow-covered flanks, melting a large portion of a glacier. Then, on February 28, the Shiveluch Volcano belched out a large cloud of ash, which spread westward over the peninsula toward the Sea of Okhotsk, which separates the peninsula from the mainland.These colorful images use visible light and...

The Kamchatka Peninsula, which extends into the Sea of Okhotsk (left) and the Bering Sea (right) is home to over a hundred volcanoes, at least a dozen of which are active. In this MODIS image from April 28, 2002, the thermal signature (red dot) detected by MODIS is from the eruption of the Karymsky Volcano, which produced an ash cloud that appears to have coated the volcano9s snow-covered flanks. Sensor: Terra/MODIS. Data Start Date: 4/28/02.

Much of the snow- and ice-covered landscape of Northeast Asia is also visible in this true-color scene, acquired by the Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS). Dark greenish swirls indicating the presence of a large phytoplankton bloom can also be seen in the surface waters of the Pacific Ocean where the overlying smoke is not too thick.

Smoke from intense fires in southeastern Russia poured over the Sea of Okhotsk on June 30, 2008. This natural-color image of the fires (marked in red) is made from data collected by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer modis.gsfc.nasa.gov (MODIS) sensors on NASA's terra.nasa.gov Terra and aqua.nasa.gov Aqua satellites on June 30. The fires are affecting Amur, Khabarovsk, and southern Sakha Provinces in Russia's Far East. NASA image by Jeff Schmaltz, rapidfire.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov...

This scene shows a large number of fires burning across southeastern Russia, releasing a considerable amount of smoke and haze into the atmosphere over the entire region. This true-color image was acquired on May 13, 2001, by the <a href="http://terra.nasa.gov/" target="outlink">Terra</a> spacecraft. The many red pixels correspond to the locations of fires burning on the ground.The scene spans large portions of the southeastern Russian provinces...

This true-color MODIS image shows the detection of dozens of fires (red dots) burning in Eastern Siberia between the East Siberian Sea to the north and the Sea of Okhotsk to the south. Heavy smoke shrouds much of the region and stretches out over the East Siberian Sea. Sensor: Terra/MODIS. Data Start Date: 8/4/01.

Though the Sea of Okhotsk off the eastern coast of Russia is almost entirely covered in ice during the winter months, it is one of the more productive marine environments in the world during the late spring and summer months.

Throughout mid- to late October 2005, scores of earthobservatory.nasa.gov/NaturalHazards/natural_hazards_v2.php3?img_id=13235 fires were burning in Russia's Far East and along the border with China. When the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer modis.gsfc.nasa.gov (MODIS) on NASA's Aqua satellite captured this image on October 31, a swirling cloud of smoke hung over Sakhalin Island and the Sea of Okhotsk. Two fires (marked in red) were detected in the scene by MODIS, but they are...

Numerous fires are burning in eastern Russia and on Sakhalin Island (left of center), and the smoke from these fires is drifting eastward out over the Sea of Okhotsk.

In the northeastern corner of the northernmost Japanese Island, Hokkaido's Shiretoko Peninsula provides the mostly temperate country with a taste of the Arctic. Reaching out into the Sea of Okhotsk, the peninsula is the southernmost Northern Hemisphere latitude that sees sea ice in winter. The sea ice is a key part of the marine ecosystem, and it enriches the area's productivity and biodiversity. comes from the language of the region's native Ainu inhabitants, derived from a word that means...

The Sredinnyy Mountain Range runs down the spine of the Kamchatka Peninsula. The volcanic peninsula dips like a dagger into the icy water of the Bering Sea to the east and the Sea of Okhotsk to the west. Dozens of volcanoes are scattered along the mountain range, mostly on the eastern side.In this true-color Aqua MODIS image from May 28, 2005, a large forest fire (marked in red) was burning on the western side of the peninsula, the smoke from which stretched southward several hundred kilometers...

Running in an arc between Japan to the south and the southern tip of Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula to the north (neither of which are visible in the image), the Kuril Islands produce a wake effect in the region's clouds. The islands are between the Sea of Okhotsk to the northwest and the Pacific Ocean to the southeast. Sensor: Terra/MODIS. Data Start Date: 8/15/01.

Temperate and green in the summer, the Kamchatka Peninsula in northeastern Russia freezes over completely in the winter. This true-color image of the Kamchatka Peninsula was acquired on December 12, 2001, by the Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), flying aboard NASA's Terra spacecraft. The peninsula is surrounded by the Sea of Okhotsk to the west and by the Bering Sea to the east.The ice and snow highlight the stunning valleys and tall peaks of the Sredinnyy Khrebet, which is...

Like water flowing over a rocky stream bed, clouds trickle past the Kuril Islands on their way from the Pacific Ocean to the Sea of Okhotsk, creating interesting patterns and eddies along the way. Meanwhile, the islands and Kamchatka Peninsula glow with the bright green radiance of summer; a pleasing contrast to their usual covering of pristine white snow. And snaking down the eastern side of Kamchatka is a ribbon of smoke originating with fires burning farther up the peninsula and on the...
