The clouds rimming the volcano are seasonal, limited to spring and summer; scientists postulate that they may be formed when ice condenses from the atmosphere as it cools while moving up the crater's flanks. Hovering beyond, at the upper left corner of the photograph, is a "cloud train," a common formation on the downwind side of mountains...
