Monster Eruption of Shiveluch Volcano Blasts Ash 70,000 Feet in the Sky (Video)

8

Recently, the Kamchatka Peninsula is experiencing an upstick is volcanic activity with the Karymski and Shiveluch volcanoes exploding regularly.

Well, this enhanced activity climaxed over the weekend with a monster Shiveluch volcanic eruption that sent a plume of ash and gas more than 70,000 feet in the sky.

The Volcanic Ash Advisory Center (VAAC) Anchorage reported on a volcanic ash plume rising to a staggering 70,000 ft (21300 m) and moving at 10 kts in NNE direction

This eruption at Shiveluch produced a “huge stratospheric injection” says Diamond, of the Oppenheimer Ranch Project. “We’re talking Plinian, Ultra-Plinian — one of the largest eruptions of the last decade.” 

Particulates ejected to altitudes above 32,800 feet (10km), and into the stratosphere, have a direct cooling effect on the planet.

According to Kvert, the growth of the lava dome continues accompanied by a strong fumarolic activity, incandescence of the dome blocks and hot avalanches.

According satellite data, an ash plume on the height 4.5-5 km a.s.l. continues to drift to the north-west from the volcano.

Shiveluch is currently very unstable and ash explosions up to 32,800-49,200 ft (10-15 km) a.s.l. could occur at any time. Such explosive-extrusive eruptions could affect international and low-flying aircraft.

    Shiveluch volcano (Kamchatka, Russia): no major eruption on 25 Aug, ash plume only to 23,000 and not 70,000 ft

    The recently reported eruption on 25 Aug alerting of an ash plume as high as 70,000 ft (21300 m) did not take place.
    There is no data (satellite-based, direct observations etc) to confirm an eruption of this magnitude.
    The report was based on an erroneous alert from the Anchorage VAAC. An eruption did take place, observed by a group of people staying nearby and who sent us images on social media, but it was “only” producing an ash column rising approx. 23,000 ft (7 km) – something not unusual for Shiveluch which has been having eruptions of this size for decades at irregular intervals.

    However, it should be mentioned that eruptions of larger size (with ash plumes of 70,000 ft or more) are entirely possible, have occurred and will occur again sooner or later. In case of doubt, VAAC centers need to assume the “worst-case scenario” as a measure of safety.

    • CULLUM: There is much censoring of all volcanic activity… they don’t want people finding out that global warming is a farce and that in fact, the atmosphere is being cooled at a massive rate due to all of the volcanic eruptions across the world, spewing ash all over and blocking the sun. This affects crops, water sources and can lead to famine and worse in other parts of the world. You should not be so eager to believe everything the official narrative tells you.

  2. AS JUDGEMENT FALLS on planet earth,ITS GOING TO GET A LOT WORSE,the people would rather die ,then REPENT OF THEIR SINS and return to the LORD,DO NOT TAKE THE MICRO-CHIP ,or THE MARK OF THE BEAST,you will not ever be allowed into HEAVEN if you do,there will be NO FORGIVENESS FOR THOSE WHO DO…..

  3. why is it so difficult for news articles to actually state the country that places, events, things are located ? Just wondering because most people don’t know. Just saying….
