The Krasheninnikov volcano, located less than 150 miles away from the epicenter of Russia’s July 29 earthquake, began erupting on August 3

Russia's remote Krasheninnikov volcano, dormant for roughly 600 years, erupted overnight in Kamchatka peninsula in the country's far east, just days after a powerful 8.8 magnitude earthquake struck the region.

The eruption of the Krasheninnikov volcano on Sunday in Russia’s Far East came after a series of seismic events this past week on the Kamchatka peninsula.
