In Kamchatka, the Klyuchevskoy volcano began to erupt

31 October 2023

Klyuchevskoy threw a column of ash to a height of 8 km. Lava pours out through two chutes.

Klyuchevskoy Volcano is the highest active volcano in Eurasia. Its height is 4750 meters above sea level. The nearest settlement is 30 kilometers from the foot of the volcano. According to reports from the Kamchatka Volcanic Eruption Observation Team (KVERT) of the Institute of Volcanology and Seismology of the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the plume stretched 150 km east of the volcano.

Klyuchevsky volcano has been assigned an orange aviation hazard code. Volcanologist scientist, founder of the volcano museum in Kamchatka "Vulcanarium" Sergei Samoilenko said that there is nothing to be afraid of. Powerful eruptions are prepared in advance.

The next year or two will most likely be quite calm and ordinary. When we talk about strong, large, truly powerful eruptions, they are prepared in advance. Magma is rising, you can hear it all very well. And so far we have no reason to believe that any of the powerful volcanoes will erupt in the near future.

Although right now there are 30 volcanoes erupting across the planet. This is an average figure, usually from 20 to 40. When it is under 40, we will say that the volcanoes have become more active.



But in the next 50 years, according to the scientist, something awaits us. It doesn't have to be catastrophic for the entire planet to shake, but strong enough for us all to hear about it.
