The most powerful volcano in Kamchatka releases steam and ash
May 2015 – KAMCHATKA – The
Kliuchevskoi, the most powerful existing chain giants in the Russian
peninsula of Kamchatka volcano, today launched clouds of gas-steam and
ash to a height of seven thousand five hundred meters above the level
the sea. Emissions were captured by the observatory of geophysics and
volcanology, a subsidiary of the Academy of Science of Russia in the Far
East.
The wind spread the ash cloud at a
distance of 40 kilometers to the northeast, toward the Gulf of
Ozernovskiy, and does not represent a danger for the populations, the
regional Emergency Situations Ministry, in a report televised on federal
channels said. However, civil defense declared code yellow -alert
averagely for aviation security and recommended to travelers refrain
from organizing tourist expeditions in the area of the volcano, active
since 1 January. Kliuchevskoi ranks as the largest and most powerful
active basaltic volcano in Eurasia, with four thousand 850 meters.
Actually it gives its name to a group
of giants (Kliuchevskaya) located near the east coast of the peninsula
as Ploski Tolbachik, Shiveluch and Kizimen responsible for the intense
seismic activity in the region since late 2012. The Kamchatka Peninsula
in the Russian Far East is part of the zone of high seismic activity on
the planet, the Ring of Fire. – Prensa Latina
