Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Jan. 5. / Correspondent. Elena Vereshchaka TASS /. The lava flow may have started down the north-western slope of the volcano on Kamchatka Kliuchevskoi. Experts have recorded characteristic features. About this TASS Head Volcano Observatory of the Institute of Volcanology and Seismology in the village of Ust-Kamchatsky Keys area Yuri Demyanchuk.
“Klyuchevskoy volcano appeared from a dense cloud cover. But on top of it continues to” hang “a small cap of clouds . Photographic allowed to take pictures. They show that below the crater on the north-western slope of the observed characteristic swirling clouds that usually accompany the lava flow, “- said Yuri Demyanchuk.
” Now the volcano again tightened dense clouds in the area blizzard. But Kliuchevskoi very high seismicity. Devices are registered strong volcanic tremor, “- said the expert.
According to him, while yet the volcano was discovered, scientists were able to observe emission of hot material to a height of about 200 meters above the crater. In the area of fixed and thermal anomaly.
According to experts group Kamchatka Volcanic Eruption Response (KVERT) Institute of Volcanology and Seismology, Kluchevskoy began a period of so-called strombolian activity.
“Seismic activity of Klyuchevskoy volcano began to grow 19-20 December 2014. Now the number of small earthquakes is increasing. From December 31 to January 4, the volcano has been closed by clouds. However, on January 1, satellite data showed the presence of a thermal anomaly over the volcano,” – said in KVERT.
The last eruption occurred giant from August to December of 2013. The height of the eruption is about 8 thousand. Meters above sea level. Loss of volcanic particles was recorded in a number of settlements of Ust-Kamchatsky district. In October 2013 the lava flowing down the slope Kliuchevskoi, melted glacier Herman. Streams of water spilled into the river jelly and change the road leading to the Ust-Kamchatsky district.
Klyuchevskoy (4750 m above sea level) – one of the most active volcanoes in the world. Its eruptions usually occur 1 in every 5 – 6 years. It is located 360 km north-east of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. The nearest town – the village Keys, home to about 5.6 thousand people removed from his foot to 30 km.
According to the Kamchatka Branch of the Geophysical Survey RAS activity is now fixed for another four volcanoes of Kamchatka. A total of about 300 on the peninsula, 29 of them active.
“The weak thermal anomaly on the volcano Unnamed observed. However, the correct seismic monitoring his condition has not yet possible because of the strong volcanic tremor Kliuchevskoi” – the researchers reported.
According to the seismic stations over the past day increase in activity recorded at the volcano Karymskii.
“At Karymskoe for two hours, according to seismic data, there were a number of small emission to a height of two thousand. meters above crater. However, due to the dense cloud visual confirmation of these events there, “- said the source.
Thermal anomalies are also observed at Shiveluch and Zhupanovsky.
” The eruption of the volcano and Kliuchevskoi Activity Kamchatka other giants pose no threat to settlements of the peninsula “, – told Trend. TASS in the press service of the Emergency Management for Kamchatka region.
monitor all giants continue.
