Didn't know where to post this, but it should be 28 years, not 18. I was just practicing for the math section of the GRE, so I'm absolutely positive about that.

Also, there may be a 3rd plume.

South south west, just below the shadow line, in the dark. There's a blur which I think can only be another plume. It should even be possible to calculate its minimum height.

Or could it be a mountain that is high enough to catch some light?

The picture is from 1997, so the age of 18 is right, relative to the time of the photo.
