The Krasheninnikov volcano, located less than 150 miles away from the epicenter of Russia’s July 29 earthquake, began erupting on August 3

Krasheninnikov volcano has erupted on Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula. This is the second volcano to erupt in the region following the magnitude 8.8 megaquake on July 30.

A volcano in Russia’s far eastern Kamchatka Peninsula erupted for what scientists say is the first time in hundreds of years. The volcano sent ash nearly 4 miles into the sky and the plume is spreading eastward toward the Pacific Ocean.
