Six Volcanoes Erupt After Massive Quake in Russia

WooGlobe

Six volcanoes are erupting in Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula after a powerful 8.8 earthquake shook the region. Klyuchevskaya was the first to erupt, followed by Shiveluch, Bezymianny, Karymsky, Avachinsky, and Krasheninnikov—which hasn’t erupted in 500 years. Now, signs suggest a seventh volcano, Mutnovsky, could be next. Was this triggered by the quake, or just a fiery coincidence? Scientists are still searching for answers, but one thing is clear—Earth is alive and unpredictable. WooGlobe Ref : WGA177040 For licensing and to use this video, please email licensing@wooglobe.com

00:00Six volcanoes erupting at once, and a seventh could be next.

00:04In Russia's far east, the ground shook with an 8.8 earthquake,

00:07and then nature unleashed a fiery spectacle.

00:11First came Kluchevskaya, already restless before the quake, but suddenly roaring to life.

00:16Then, one after another, Shivaluk, Basimiani, Karimsky, Avichinsky, and Krasininikov joined the parade.

00:24And Krasininikov's blast is historic.

00:26It hasn't erupted in about 500 years.

00:28Now, scientists are watching closely, as another giant, Mutnovsky, shows signs it might blow, too.

00:35Experts say this activity isn't unusual for Kamchatka.

00:38It's one of the most volcanically active places on Earth.

00:42But the eerie timing of these eruptions right after the massive quake has scientists debating,

00:47was it coincidence, or did the quake wake the sleeping giants?

00:51One thing is certain.

00:52The Earth just reminded us how alive it really is.
