Shiveluch volcano spews ash to nearly 11 kms
above sea level in Russia
In Russia, the Shiveluch volcano on Far Eastern Kamchatka Peninsula
ejected an ash cloud to as high as almost 11 km above the sea level. There
was no instant danger for the population, and no emissions of volcanic dust
were supervised in neighbouring villages. This was the heftiest eruption of
ash recorded this year at Shiveluch which has been active for more than
4weeks.
