A powerful 7.0 magnitude earthquake strikes near Russia’s Kuril Islands, prompting a tsunami warning for the Kamchatka Peninsula. But that was just the beginning… Hours later, the Krasheninnikov Volcano — dormant for over 600 years — erupted, spewing ash 6,000 meters into the sky. Scientists believe this rare eruption could be linked to last week’s massive quake that sent tsunami alerts as far as Chile and French Polynesia.
No towns were threatened, but an orange aviation alert was issued, warning aircraft of the high ash cloud. Is this just the beginning of more seismic activity in the region? Watch to find out the full story behind this historic eruption and what could happen next. WooGlobe Ref : WGA766820 For licensing and to use this video, please email licensing@wooglobe.com
