Bezymyannuy Volcano Has Woken Up At Kamchatka

Scientists have detected rise of seismic activity at Kamchatka’s Bezymyannuy volcano. Geophysical service of the peninsula reports about 5 local earthquakes.
      
      Geophysicists have also detected thermal anomaly, but they claim there’s no danger for any settlements. However, ash plumes during eruptions are dangerous for aviation. Scientists are monitoring the volcano online and will report about any possible changes.
      
      Bezymyannuy volcano is one of 28 active volcanoes of the Kamchatka peninsula. It usually erupts once or twice a year. Kluchevskaya sopka volcano, which is the highest in the east of Kamchatka (over 4.8 km above sea level), also shows sigh of activity.
      
      The neighbouring area showed 180 local earthquakes for recent 24 hours. Scientists say the eruption is possible. As for Shiveluch volcano, which became its eruption December 5 after one year of silence, it has emitted ash plumes 3 km high.
