I'm normally really good at knowing useless trivia about other countries and I'm not proud of my ignorance here but I honestly thought a volcano erupting in Russia was something Transformers Prime made up as a politically polite allegory for Chernobyl

The Shiveluch volcano, located on Russia’s Kamchatka peninsula, erupted Tuesday, sending an enormous ash cloud 12 miles (20 km) into the atmosphere. Nearby towns and villages were blanketed with a thick layer of brown volcanic ash. No injuries or deaths have occurred, but aircraft are being warned to avoid the area due to the large ash cloud.

What do Russians do in nuclear winter? That's right, they sculpt a snowman from the ashes.

Painting progress..

I'm going apeshit trying to find this one very specific very low res photo of a volcano eruption. I found it months ago on google maps and it looked like a video or streetview screenshot or something but the composition and colours were so gorgeous I was gonna paint it WHERE IS IT AAAAAAAA

Wow. Mount Shiveluch is blowing its top, a la Mount St. Helens, but I bet it's the next size up, VEI 6 like Pinatubo. Check out the ominous rumbling around 3:15.

The volcanically active Kamchatka peninsula is on the east coast of Russia opposite the panhandle of Alaska, forming part of the Ring of Fire.

Volcanoes far north or south of the equator don't tend to affect weather (it turned out Tonga probably DID, but not for the usual reasons. New research suggests that when an underwater volcano's magma chamber is breached so that it explodes and blasts vaporized ocean water above the clouds into the normally dry stratosphere, that disrupts jet streams and weather until all that water comes down. It appears that Australia's and New Zealand's floods and La Niña maybe be due to Tonga's big BANG.)

Russia's Shiveluch Volcano Erupts After Earthquake

  Russia’s Shiveluch Volcano Erupts After Powerful 7.0-Magnitude Earthquake… The Shiveluch volcano in Russia, one of the country’s most active, erupted on Sunday, sending plumes of ash 5 kilometers (3 miles) into the sky over the Kamchatka Peninsula. This dramatic volcanic activity followed a powerful 7.0-magnitude earthquake that struck off Kamchatka’s east coast early that morning. The eruption…

Erupción del volcán Shiveluch cubre pueblos de ceniza en Kamchatka, Rusia

El volcán Shiveluch, uno de los más activos de Rusia, hizo erupción en la península de Kamchatka, al este del país, el martes pasado. La erupción, que comenzó poco después de la medianoche, lanzó una enorme nube de ceniza al cielo que cubrió pueblos enteros con una capa de polvo volcánico grisáceo y provocó una alerta de aviación. De acuerdo con la rama de Kamchatka de la Academia de Ciencias de…

PETROPAVLOVSK-KAMCHATSKY, Russia (Reuters) -One of Russia's most active volcanoes erupted on the far eastern Kamchatka peninsula on Tuesday, shooting a vast cloud of ash far into the sky that smothered villages in drifts of grey volcanic dust and triggered an aviation warning.

The Shiveluch volcano erupted just after midnight and reached a crescendo about six hours later, spewing out an ash cloud over an area of 108,000 square kilometres (41,700 square miles), according to the Kamchatka Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences' Geophysical Survey.

Lava flows tumbled from the volcano, melting snow and prompting a warning of mud flows along a nearby highway while villages were carpeted in drifts of grey ash as deep as 8.5 centimetres (3.5 inches), the deepest in 60 years.

Pictures showed the cloud billowing over the forests and rivers of the far east and of villages covered in ash.

"The ash reached 20 kilometres high, the ash cloud moved westwards and there was a very strong fall of ash on nearby villages," said Danila Chebrov, director of the Kamchatka branch of the Geophysical Survey.

"The volcano was preparing for this for at least a year... and the process is continuing though it has calmed a little now," Chebrov said.

Around 24 hours after the volcano began erupting, a 5.8 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Kamchatka, the geological survey said. Russian scientists said the quake was an aftershock from an April 3 earthquake.

About 300,000 people live on Russia's vast Kamchatka peninsula, which juts into the Pacific Ocean northeast of Japan.

The volcano, one of Kamchatka's largest and most active, would probably calm now, Chebrov said, though he cautioned that further major ash clouds could not be excluded. Chebrov said the lava flows should not reach local villages.

There were no immediate reports of casualties, though scientists said the volcano was still erupting 15 hours after the start of the eruption.
