Shiveluch Volcano

The Shiveluch volcano, located on Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula, erupted Tuesday, sending an enormous ash cloud 12 miles (20 km) into the atmosphere. Nearby towns and villages were blanketed with a thick layer of brown volcanic ash. No injuries or deaths have occurred, but aircraft are being warned to avoid the area due to the large ash cloud.
