The Klyuchevskoy volcano on Russia’s Kamchatka peninsula began erupting after Wednesday’s (July 30) powerful earthquake in the Pacific, a geological monitoring service said.
The camera installed at the seismic station of the Kamchatka branch of the Federal Research Centre of Geophysical Surveys of the Russian Academy of Sciences captured the start of eruption.
In a statement posted on Telegram, the Russian Academy of Sciences’ United Geophysical Service said: “A descent of burning hot lava is observed on the western slope. Powerful glow above the volcano, explosions.”
Located around 450 km (280 miles) north of the regional capital, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Klyuchevskoy is one of the highest volcanoes in the world.
It has erupted several times in recent years.
Wednesday’s 8.8 magnitude quake off Kamchatka damaged buildings and injured several people in the remote Russian region, but no fatalities were reported.
