Kambalny volcano erupts for first time since reign of Catherine the Great
By The Siberian Times reporter 25 March 2017
An 8 km high plume was recorded from the southernmost major stratovolcano on the Kamchatka peninsula.
The eruption is believed to be the first since 1769, and tourist organisations have been warned not to venture towards the 2,156 metre high volcano.
It is on Russia's famed Land of Fire and Ice, the Kamchatka peninsula, in the extreme east of the country.
A source at the Kamchatka Volcanic Eruption Response Team (KVERT) told IA Kamchatka: 'Currently, the eruption of the volcano continues. The ash plume was recorded today at about 9 am.
'The propagation zone is about 255 km in the direction of Cape Lopatka.
'The trail passes south of Shumshu Island in the Kuril Island chain.
'There are no settlements on the way.'
The eruption was assigned the orange code for aviation danger.
Kambalny volcano (Kambalnaya Sopka) is located in the South Kamchatka volcanic zone in the south of the Kambalny volcanic ridge, southwest of the Kurilsky lake, in the sources of the Kambalnaya River.
Ash emissions up to 6-8 km can happen any time, say the experts.
The nearest settlement is Ozernovsky in Ust-Bolsheretsky district, some 77 km from Kambalny.
It is believed to have last erupted 248 years during the reign of Catherine II.

Couple days ago two other volcanoes on the Aleutians got excited, Bogoslof and Cleveland.

I was gonna blame global warming and then I thought, wait, this is Russia, so Trump obviously colluded with Putin.
Is Schumer gonna call a presser and ask Nunes to resign over this?

That is a beautiful volcano. Let’s see what she looks like when she is done erupting.

The EPA fines on these volcanoes, for the amount of dirty air they are producing, must be enormous.
