Rare glimpse of volcanic activity on remote Kamchatka peninsula
A volcano erupting in Russia's Far East has sent plumes of gas, ash and molten lava into the sky


28 January, 2013





Footage filmed on Friday shows rivers of molten lava flowing in the remote area of the Plosky Tolbachik volcano, in Kamchatka peninsula.

"The hot materials have erupted to the height of up to one hundred metres," said Yuri Demyanchuk, a volcanologist who has made several visits to the site.

According to authorities, there is no immediate threat to residential areas, but officials have advised residents to ensure they have access to protective masks.

The nearest town is around 60 kilometres away.

The volcano started erupting in November, after lying dormant for almost 40 years.

The first historical eruption occurred in 1852 with explosions and lava flows.

The last eruption occurred at the volcano in 2012
