0:18Now PlayingA volcano on Russia’s far eastern Kamchatka Peninsula erupted Aug. 2 for the first time in more than 500 years, days after a massive 8.8-magnitude earthquake.
The Krasheninnikov volcano sent ash 6 kilometers (3.7 miles) into the sky, according to staff at the Kronotsky Reserve, where the volcano is located. Images released by state media showed dense clouds of ash rising above the volcano.
The Smithsonian Institution’s Global Volcanism Program, based in the U.S., lists Krasheninnikov’s last eruption as occurring 475 years ago in 1550.
