| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] The highest active volcano in Eurasia, Klyuchevskaya Sopka, has begun erupting in Kamchatka. This was reported by the Kamchatka branch of the Geophysical Service of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The branch noted that a glow was recorded on the volcano's crater on the night of April 21. It lasted for several minutes. "Klyuchevskoy Volcano. April 20, 2025. The glow above the volcano's crater is associated with a Strombolian type of eruption," says a message from KVERT of the Institute of Volcanology and Seismology of the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IVS FEB RAS) on the Telegram channel. The aviation hazard code for the Klyuchevskaya Sopka volcano has been changed from green to yellow. This code is the second of four and indicates risks for small aircraft. If the volcano's activity continues to increase, it could affect low-flying aircraft. Klyuchevskoy Volcano (Klyuchevskaya Sopka) is located 30 km from the village of Klyuchi in the Ust-Kamchatsky District, where about 4.5 thousand people live. It is the highest active volcano in Eurasia. Its age is approximately 7,000 years. As reported by the Regnum news agency, the Bezymyanny volcano began erupting in Kamchatka. Satellite data showed a bright thermal glow in the crater that lasted for several minutes. At 10:30 local time on April 21 (01:30 Moscow time), explosions raised ash from the Bezymyanny volcano 4,000 meters above sea level. The ash plume stretched 36 km west of the volcano. The volcanic eruption continues. Volcanologists noted that an ash plume up to 10-15 km above sea level can be expected at any time. The volcano's activity is dangerous for local air travel, and an orange hazard code (increased probability of eruption) has been declared. |
