One of Russia's most active volcanoes erupted on Tuesday shooting a vast cloud of ash far up into the sky and smothering villages in drifts of grey volcanic dust, triggering an aviation warning around Russia's far eastern Kamchatka Peninsula.
The Shiveluch volcano erupted just after midnight reaching a crescendo about six hours later, spewing out an ash cloud over an area of 108,000 square kilometres , according to the Kamchatka Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences' Geophysical Survey.
Pictures showed the cloud billowing swiftly over the forests and rivers of the far east and of villages covered in ash. "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.
