(Bloomberg) — Eurasia’s biggest volcano, Klyuchevskaya, has begun to erupt in Russia’s Far Eastern Kamchatka Peninsula, a monitoring group reported Friday.
“The moderate explosive eruption of the volcano continues” from June 22, the Kamchatka Volcanic Eruption Response Team, a national monitoring group that gathers data on volcanic activity, said on its website. “Aerosole plumes with some amount of ash could occur at any time. Ongoing activity could affect low-flying aircraft.”
At nearly 5 kilometers high (3 miles), Klyuchevskaya is the highest and most active volcano in Eurasia. It last erupted in October.
