Researchers say the massive volcanic eruption on Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula is not expected to deposit any ash on the ground in Alaska, though it’s possible it could affect air traffic around the Aleutian Islands depending on future activity levels.
Smoke and ash are visible during the the Shiveluch volcano's eruption on the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia, Tuesday, April 11, 2023. Shiveluch, one of Russia's most active volcanoes, erupted Tuesday, spewing clouds of ash 20 kilometers into the sky and covering broad areas with ash.
A massive volcanic eruption on Russia’s far eastern Kamchatka Peninsula is not expected to send ash into Alaska., which began erupting Tuesday, sent clouds of ash over 41,700 square miles and coated nearby villages in up to 3 inches of dust. Ash spewed at least 50,000 feet into the air. Researchers here say the eruption is not expected to deposit any ash on the ground in Alaska, though it’s possible it could affect air traffic around the Aleutian Islands depending on future activity levels.
“Even though it’s a larger eruption, it’s not sending ash as far as Alaska,” said Tim Orr, a geologist with theThe eruption appeared to be waning by Wednesday afternoon, Orr said. It seemed unlikely there would be an increase in activity big enough to send ash over the state, although it may impact air traffic over the Aleutian Islands, he said.
The peninsula about 1,800 miles west of Anchorage is one of the world’s most concentrated areas of geothermal activity, with about 30 active volcanoes.Tess Williams is a reporter for the Anchorage Daily News, focusing on breaking news and public safety.
