VIDEO/ Krasheninnikov volcano in Russia erupts for the first time in 600 years

The Krasheninnikov volcano in Kamchatka, Russia, has begun erupting for the first time in nearly 600 years, according to the Kamchatka Volcanic Eruption Response Team (KVERT).

On the Telegram channel of the Institute of Volcanology and Seismology, KVERT said that the last eruption occurred in 1463 and no eruptions are known to have occurred since then.

The volcano belongs to the Eastern Volcanic Belt of Russia, one of the most active volcanic regions on Earth. It has about 300 volcanoes, with 29 of them still active, according to NASA's Earth Observatory.

Earthquakes and tsunamis regularly hit the peninsula, which lies near an oceanic trench where two tectonic plates meet.

Earlier this week, Kamchatka's highest volcano, Klyuchevskaya Sopka, also experienced eruptions, with observers seeing lava flows on its western slopes, according to the Kamchatka branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences' geophysical service./CNA
