Russian Volcano Keeps Spilling Lava Months After Waking From a 500

After more than four centuries of lying dormant, the Krasheninnikova volcano erupted in August, sending clouds of ash to the skies. Since then, volcanic plumes have continued to emerge from the site, spilling lava across Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula.

NASA’s Earth observation satellite, Landsat 9, captured an overhead image of the Krasheninnikova volcano on November 14, revealing ongoing activity that has persisted for several months. The image shows a volcanic plume erupting from one of Krasheninnikova’s craters and drifting toward the northwest, as well as an accompanying lava flow making its way across the snowy slopes.

With the recent eruption, authorities raised the aviation color code to orange, meaning that the volcano is exhibiting heightened unrest.
