Following a powerful 8.8-magnitude earthquake on July 30, 2025, Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula has experienced heightened seismic and volcanic activity, with seven volcanoes currently active. Among these, the Klyuchevskaya Sopka volcano, the highest active volcano in Eurasia, erupted on August 4, sending a high column of ash into the sky. Subsequent eruptions have continued, with ash plumes reaching heights of up to 10.5 kilometers. Satellite images from Roscosmos have captured the eruption's scale, visible from space. The earthquake also triggered a prolonged tsunami warning and advisory period lasting 32 hours, the longest for an overseas earthquake, according to simulations by a research team from the University of Tokyo's Earthquake Research Institute. The intense volcanic activity and extended warnings highlight the ongoing geological instability in the region following the seismic event.
