A powerful earthquake that struck off Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula on July 29 has triggered a chain reaction of volcanic eruptions along the Pacific Ring of Fire.
The 8.8 magnitude quake, followed by multiple aftershocks as strong as magnitude 6, appears to have reawakened long-dormant giants.
Klyuchevskaya Sopka erupted a day after the seismic event for the first time in 600 years.
Several other volcanoes, Shiveluch, Bezymianny, Karymsky and Avachinsky, have also roared back to life after roughly 300 years of dormancy.
Meanwhile, scientists have detected a thermal anomaly at Mutnovsky, indicating rising heat and suggesting an eruption may be imminent.
Ilias Papadopoulos, an engineering seismologist at the University of the West Indies, told the Daily Mail: 'I saw reports about [multiple volcanoes] erupting, which is a unique situation. Since the activity is dynamic, the numbers may change with time.
He added that while the region between Russia and Alaska is among the most seismically and volcanically active on Earth, the near-simultaneous activity of so many volcanoes is rare.
If more eruptions occur throughout the Ring of Fire, Papadopoulos said the risk to human life remains low, but added: 'It would for sure make for an exciting event.'
The Ring of Fire is a 25,000-mile horseshoe-shaped belt of volcanoes and fault lines that circles the Pacific Ocean, home to about 75 percent of the world's active volcanoes and frequent earthquakes.
According to data from the US Geological Survey (USGS), the quake struck about 84 miles east-southeast of Kamchatka at around 7:24pm ET, making it the sixth strongest earthquake ever recorded.
It was also believed to be the most powerful quake anywhere on Earth in 14 years, since the 9.1-magnitude megaquake that struck northeastern Japan in 2011, leaving 19,747 people dead or missing.

Saw them twice at the Forum in LA back in 78 and 79 or 80. Can’t remember. But did have about 10th row or closer on the floor.
Just what you need in light of the heat.
You all are really under the gun.
