It Go Boom!
If you had only paid more taxes to “Save The Planet”™
The Krasheninnikov volcano, located on Russia’s far eastern Kamchatka Peninsula, sent ash 6 kilometers, or 3.7 miles, into the sky. A 7.0-magnitude earthquake accompanied the eruption. The plume is spreading eastward from the volcano toward the Pacific Ocean. This is the first historically confirmed eruption of the Krasheninnikov volcano in 600 years. It has been said that the amount of ash blown into the sky is the equivalent to the exhaust of a large diesel pickup.
“moderate explosive activity could continue” so quick – send those Climate Change tax dollars to your favorite politician so that the Congress-critter can prevent this from happening again.
A fairly remote part of the planet, not much civilized life anywhere.
I did find a community in the south of the peninsula that has activity and they have a fairly decent eatery that features a lovely little baby deer desert. Adorable idn’t it?

Eastern Siberia is very remote, with
kilometersmiles of nothing between the smallest outposts. When I was flying over Russia*, we might have been dispatched with an alternate to some Russian airfield, but that was just for dispatch legality purposes. We always figured out what it would take to get to Japan, South Korea, or even China. None of us wanted to land in Russia.*As a practical point, no one from the West has flown over Russia since 2022. In recent months, Russia has had a very hard time keeping their own airline industry working.
