Experts have recorded an ash release on the Karymsky volcano in Kamchatka at a height of up to 4 km. This was reported in the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia in the region.
“On the morning of May 1, an ash discharge was recorded from the Karymsky volcano to a height of 4,000 meters at the height of the giant himself — 1,469 meters,” the report says.
The ash plume spread in an easterly, northeasterly direction deep into the peninsula. There are no settlements on his way.
Karymsky has been assigned an orange aviation hazard code.
The volcano is located 115 km from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky.
Over 260 earthquakes per day occurred on two volcanoes of the Klyuchevskaya group in Kamchatka. The activity of the Bezymyanny and Klyuchevskaya Sopka volcanoes continues, the Kamchatka branch of the Geophysical Service of the Russian Academy of Sciences told TASS.
“Over the past day, 85 seismic events have been recorded in the Bezymyanny area. At night, the glow of the dome and the descent of incandescent debris avalanches are observed. A periodic glow over the central crater is recorded on Klyuchevsky Island. There were about 181 seismic events per day,” the institution said.
Activity on the volcanoes of the Klyuchevskaya group began in mid-April. They pose a danger to low-flying aircraft. The eruptions continue.
