73: Kamchatka’s Plosky Tolbachik volcano erupts for first time in 36 years
Posted on November 29, 2012
November 29, 2012 – KAMCHATKA, Russia – The
3,085-meter Plosky Tolbachik volcano in Russia’s Far Eastern Kamchatka
Peninsula is erupting for the first time in 36 years, according to
reports of KVERT, the he volcano monitoring body for Kamchatka. The
volcano is located on the peninsula’s eastern coast, 343 km from the
region’s capital of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. A bulletin released
Tuesday by the Kamchatka Volcanic Eruption Response Team (KVERT), as
cited by The Voice of Russia, described a significant explosive eruption
with the potential for ash explosions up to 10 km. The eruption at
Plosky Tolbachik was given code orange (number three on the four-tiered
USGS Volcano Alert Level), meaning it “poses limited hazards.”
Scientists say the volcano is obscured by clouds at now, but lava
intrusions towards the volcano’s summit caldera are also probable. An
ash fall was reported in the nearby village of Krasny Yar. The eruption
will be closely monitored for its impact on air travel over the eastern
Siberian peninsula. The Plosky Tolbachik volcano erupted only 10 times
since records began in 1740. –Novinite
