what does this mean? Is that a plume of smoke?

I believe it is steam...

From the linked website:

Strange Thing In The Image Update - You may notice the near vertical fuzzy line just above the volcano rim in the upper right-hand quadrant of the image. We've had guesses ranging from an ash plume, a smudge on the camera lens, and a tornado, to that errant Mutant Fly with an extra leg. It is really a very thin scratch in the glass window of the camera enclosure.

Doesn't look like a scratch to me :shrug:

The photo above refreshes automatically...

there is a scratch in the upper right, it is blurry, can be seen better when it is a clear day...

right now the crater can't be seen, but yesterday you could see a little steam coming up...
