A volcano has erupted in Russia
Ebeko is actually a volcanic somma, i.e. the edge of the former volcanic caldera of a stratovolcano, inside which a new volcanic cone was formed over time. It is located in Russia, precisely on the Kuril Islands, in the north of the island of Paramushir.
It is one of the most active Kuril volcanoes. It is 1,156 m above sea level and its eruptions are impressive. He has woken up dozens of times over the past centuries and now he decided to remember himself again.
A thick cloud of smoke and ash emerged from the volcano's crater. Warnings have been issued due to possible dust fall in nearby areas. The aviation code has also been maintained at orange level (third on a four-level scale) for aircraft traveling through this area.
