Russia Earthquake Triggers 2nd Volcano After 450 Years | Watch Ash Soar 19,700 Ft Into Sky
A volcano in Russia’s remote Kamchatka region has erupted for the first time in 450 years, just days after one of the most powerful earthquakes ever recorded rocked the area. The Krasheninnikov volcano sent a massive plume of ash 6,000 metres into the sky, triggering aviation alerts and raising fears of further seismic activity. Now, a new magnitude 6.7 quake has hit Russia’s Kuril Islands, according to German and Pacific seismic authorities. Though no tsunami warning was issued, the tremors have raised fresh concerns about escalating geological instability in the Pacific Ring of Fire.
