PLOSKY TOLBACHIK VOLCANO IN KAMCHATKA ERUPTS AFTER 40 YEARS January 6, 2013 Walter Hays, Global Alliance for Disaster Reduction, Vienna, Virginia, USA

PLOSKY TOLBACHIK SPEWS ASH 4 KM: JAN. 6, 2013

The Plosky Tolbachik volcano, which emitted lava, poisonous gases, and ash, is located in Kamchatka peninsula, hundreds of miles (km) from the nearest residential areas.

Tourists rushing to the area to view the once-in-40 years spectacle have been warned about the toxic gases.

Until the lava-spewing fissure that occurred on November 27, 2012, and the current eruption phase, Plosky Tolbachik had been dormant since 1976.

The current eruption, which is expected to continue for some time, has not yet forced any changes in the airline flight patterns over this part of Russia.

This type of eruption, known as a strombolian eruption, is usually moderate.

BACKGROUND

VOLCANOES are awesome manifestations of heat flowing at hot spots (e.g., Hawaii and Iceland) and in subduction zones (e.g., along almost the entire Pacific Rim).
