#AceBreakingNews – Towering clouds of ash and glowing lava are spewing from two volcanoes on Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula and scientists say major eruptions could be on the way.

The peninsula, which extends into the Pacific Ocean about 6,600 kilometres east of Moscow, is one of the world’s most concentrated areas of geothermal activity, with about 30 active volcanoes.

The sudden new activity followed a strong earthquake on Saturday, news reports said.

The Russian Academy of Sciences’ vulcanology institute said that at Klyuchevskaya Sopka, which at 4,754 meters is Eurasia’s tallest active volcano, as many as 10 explosions an hour were being recorded.

Russia’s state RIA news agency cited Alexei Ozerov, the director of the Institute of Volcanology and Seismology of the Far East Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, as saying that the dome of the volcano is very hot.

“At night, the dome glows almost over its entire surface. Hot avalanches with a temperature of 1000 degrees Celsius roll down the slopes, pyroclastic flows descend. This state of the dome is observed, as a rule, before a powerful paroxysmal eruption.”

Lava flows and ash emissions also are coming from the Shiveluch volcano, the institute said.

Shiveluch, one of Kamchatka’s largest volcanoes with a summit reaching 3,283 metres is also one of the peninsula’s most active ones, with an estimated 60 substantial eruptions in the past 10,000 years.

The volcano’s last most powerful eruption took place in 2007, according to NASA.

Kamchatka is sparsely populated.

The town of Klyuchi, with about 5,000 people, lies between the two volcanoes, 30-50 kilometres from each.

The volcanoes are about 450 kilometres from the peninsula’s only major city, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky.
