Volcanic activity in Russia

 Just like many places throughout the world, there is some activity when it comes to volcanic activity. Russia is actually quite active with volcanic activity out of the 77 volcanoes established in Russia, about 61 of them are still considered active. The most active part of Russia would have to be The Kamchatka Peninsula, which extends all the way to the Pacific Ocean, roughly 4,000 miles away from eastern Moscow. It has had around 60 substantial eruptions within the past 10,00 years. It is considered to be one of the world's largest and most concentrated areas of geothermal activity, with over 30 active volcanoes nearby. Klyuchevskaya is known as the highest and most active volcano standing at a tall 5 kilometers high (3 miles). The most recent eruption here took place last October almost marking it a full year since it's latest eruption. Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky is one of Russia's most active volcanoes in the area, and on April 11th early this year it erupted on the far eastern side of the Kamchatka Peninsula. Due to this, the surrounding area was filled with vast clouds of ash which affected many villages leaving them in grey volcanic dust, which eventually led to the trigger of an aviation warning in the surrounding areas. It was reported that this eruption spewed 12 miles of ash and smoke. This eruption was reported to not have caused any deaths but these volcanic eruptions can still cause a lot of damage as well as displacement of communities depending on how close these volcanic eruptions are to villages and communities around the lands.
