Shiveluch volcano threw out a column of ash to a height of up to 5 km twice in a day

Recently, the Shiveluch volcano in Kamchatka has been extremely active, which indicates preparations for a powerful eruption. This was announced on November 20 at the Institute of Volcanology and Seismology of the Far East Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

“The dome of the volcano is very hot. At night, the glow of the dome is observed 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.– the press service of the institute quotes the words of the director of the university Alexey Ozerov.
