The volcano in Russia explodes for the first time in centuries

A volcano on the Peninsula of the Far East of Kamchatka of Russia exploded during the night until Sunday for the first time in at least 400 years.

The Kraheninnikov volcano sent Ash more than 3.7 miles to heaven, according to Kronotsky’s reserve staff, where the volcano is located. The eruption occurred a few days after a huge 8.8 Magnitude earthquake Beef in the region, causing waves of tsunami in Japan and Alaska and caused warnings for Hawaii, the North and Central Islands of America and the Pacific to the south to New Zealand.

The images released by the state media showed dense ash clouds that rose on the volcano.

“The Penacho is spreading east from the volcano to the Pacific Ocean. There are no populated areas along its way, and ashes has not been recorded in inhabited locations,” wrote Kamchatka’s emergency ministry on Telegram during the eruption.

The eruption was accompanied by an earthquake of magnitude of 7.0 and caused a warning of Tsunami for three areas of Kamchatka. The warning of the Tsunami was later carried by the Ministry of Emergency Services of Russia.

“This is the first historically confirmed eruption of the Kraheninnikov volcano in 600 years,” said Olga Girina, director of the Kamchatka volcanic eruption response team, to the Russian state news agency Ria Novosti.

In the Telegram channel of the Institute of Volcanology and Seismology, Girina said that the last spill of kraninnikov lava took place within 40 years of 1463. Reuters reported.

However, the Global Volcanism program of the Smithsonian institution, based in the United States, lists the last eruption of Kraheninnikov that occurs 475 years ago in 1550.

The reason for the discrepancy was not clear.

Kamchatka’s volcanic eruption response team said Sunday night that the volcano activity was decreasing but that “moderate explosive activity” could continue.
