Pilots have been warned of flight dangers with a red aviation alert after the eruption of Krasheninnikov.
While it is listed as an active stratovolcano, it has not erupted for around 600 years – before observations were made.
New footage emerged today of tsunami waves climbing up the land in the remote Kuril Islands.
A man and his dog retreating could be seen fleeing as a fresh warning was issued following another earthquake of 7 on the Richter scale in eastern Russia.
Vsevolod Yakovlev, head of the Kronotsky Nature Reserve, said today: “Its eruption is not something out of the ordinary for a region with high volcanic activity.
“During satellite monitoring, thermal spots have been repeatedly noted in the area of the Krasheninnikov volcano.
“This is a significant increase in temperature on the Earth’s surface compared to neighbouring areas.”
