ERUPTION OF TWO VOLCANOES IN KAMCHATKA (RUSSIA) THREATENS PEOPLE AND AVIATION SAFETY OCTOBER 22-27, 2010 Walter Hays, Global Alliance for Disaster Reduction, University of North Carolina, USA

EXPLOSIVE VOLCANOES

Shiveluch and Klychuvsko, two explosive volcanoes located on Russia's far-eastern Kamchatka Peninsula, emitted lava flows and massive ash clouds into the air in October, forcing flights to divert and blanketing Ust-Kamchatsky, a small town with ash...

KAMCHATKA AREA

KAMCHATKA’S VOLCANOES

. The two erupting volcanoes, which are part of the string of volcanoes encircling the Pacific Ocean called the "Ring of Fire," began erupting on October 22 and 27, respectively.

. NOTE: It is not clear whether the volcanic activity on Kamchatka is directly related to the eruption of the Mount Merapi volcano in Indonesia on October 26 th

Kluchevskoy, the largest active volcano in Eurasia at 4,750 m above sea level, is a part of the Kluchevskaya Kopka group of volcanoes designated as a UNESCO Cultural Heritage Volcano Site..

KLYCHUVSKO VOLCANO: KAMCHATKA

Ash clouds from Kluchevskoy and Shiveluch reached 33,000 feet (10 km) and spread 1,250 km east across the Pacific Ocean, prompting warnings and rerouting of jet aircraft in the USA, Japan, and other locations..

Volcanic ash blanketed the town of Ust-Kamchatsk, located 45 miles (70 kilometers) east of Shiveluch and 75 miles (120 kilometers) northeast of Klyuchevskaya Sopka, reducing visibility to only a few meters and turning buildings ghostly white

Public offices, businesses, and schools in Ust-Kamchatsk were closed, but the people were not evacuated after a judgment call declared that there was not a high health risk.
