Cover Story: Explosion at Santiaguito, Guatemala in 2006 (photo by Kim Genareau). Explosive volcanic eruptions inject volcanic ash into the atmosphere, which may act as ice nuclei. Experiments show that the bulk composition of the ash will affect the temperature at which heterogeneous nucleation occurs in the immersion-mode, with potassium-rich samples promoting nucleation at relatively higher temperatures.
