Kizimen Volcano began erupting in 2010. More than two years later the eruption continued, with frequent ash and gas emissions, pyroclastic flows, and an active lava flow.
Kamchatka’s Kizimen Volcano was emitting gas and steam from its summit in the afternoon of April 16, 2011. When the MODIS instrument on NASA’s Aqua satellite acquired this image, a plume was blowing to the northwest from the summit.
