A volcano erupted early Tuesday on Russia's far eastern Kamchatka Peninsula.

The eruption of Shiveluch, one of the area's most active volcanoes, sent clouds of dust more than 65,000 feet into the sky, engulfing villages in gray dust.

The ash cloud extended over more than 300 miles and the event triggered an aviation warning.

Officials closed the skies over the area to aircraft and local authorities advised residents to stay indoors, with schools shuttered and power supplies cut for two villages for a few hours.

Volcano was still erupting 15 hours after its start

Does this impact Alaska and Canada more than Russia?

Higher taxes can solve this...

Damn you Putin and your climate schemes!

It’s going to cast a cloud over a long portion of the pacific for sure. Hello global cooling!!🥶

[sit-rep]

I’d like to give all who film vertical a good swift kick in the arse!!

[drwoof]

If I recall correctly, this might lead to some spectacular sunsets, esp. in Hawaii

[katana]

Quick answer yes. But I’d expect it will also hugely impact non-stop flights to and from eastern and midwest cities to Eastern Asia (Japan, Korea, China). All those flights skirt the Kamchatka Peninsula.

Might make for some nice sunsets, locally. (Oregon)

Someone better let the volcano know that Greta is scowling at it.

[Jeff Chandler]

Eruptions have consequences.

[ryderann]

A prelude for Xi’s army.

I dont know, I dont know,

I dont know where I am gonna go...

[struggle]

Yup, lots of SO2.

[dfwgator]

Wherever I go I hope there’s Vodka!

[Petrosius]

Did the Russians conduct the necessary Environmental Impact Study before they allowed that volcano to erupt?

Volcanic eruption in Russia offsets ALL of the "Green Agenda" CO2 reductions over the last 20 years....

(when you show me proof of the impact of the Green Agenda, I'll provide proof of the impact of this eruption.)

[volunbeer]

True.

However, it’s okay because Bill Gates and other oligarchs are going to put curtains around the earth so we can stop that horrible sun from warming the planet!

[HKMk23]

Aaaannnnndd THAT about does it for CO2 emissions reductions this past decade.

All, fairly literally, “up in smoke” as good ol’ Mother Earth laughing hysterically tells Greta and Gore to “KISS MY FINE, WHITE ASH!!

Go Russia!
