The Krasheninnikov Volcano in eastern Russia has erupted for the first time since 1550, releasing an ash cloud 32,800 feet into the atmosphere. This event followed an 8.8 magnitude earthquake that hit eastern Russia, which also triggered volcanic activity. Lava has been observed flowing down the western slope of the volcano. Experts noted the eruption is typical for a region with high volcanic activity and confirmed the significant increase in surface temperature. Emissions and ash ejection have also been reported from the volcano's crater.
A descent of burning hot lava is observed on the western slope. Powerful glow above the volcano, explosions.
Its eruption is not something out of the ordinary for a region with high volcanic activity.
This is the first historically confirmed eruption of Krasheninnikov Volcano in 600 years.
A crack opened up along the volcano from the top of the crater, and a steam-gas mixture is currently rising from this crack.
