Hi, folks.
I'm glad you're here.
Thank you very much for joining me.
Please like share and subscribe on Tuesday, just before
midnight, volcano there in Russia, Shiveluch erupt did near
the town ofKamchatka and going to Google Earth.
Here's the location of the eruption.
Evidently the eruption of this volcano is
one of the largest eruptions since satellites
have been used here on Google Earth.
You can see that the city of Kamchatka is
to the southwest of this eruption and the ash
from the eruption reached all the way over there.
Here's a screen capture of the eruption.
Initially the ash went about 20 km, or about
12 miles, a little more into the atmosphere.
As I stated, the eruption started just after midnight
and reached its peak about 6 hours later.
Here's a screen capture of snow
plus the ash that was falling.
This here is a little dog that was outside.
Yeah, that dirty snow.
That's ash.
Here we have a satellite image.
Encircled in red is the volcanic eruption.
This is Kamchatka.
The ash cloud covered an area
of 108,000 km² or 41,000 sq.
Mi lava evidently came out of the
volcano, melting snow and prompting a warning
for lahars along a nearby highway.
And villages close to the eruption got about three
and a half inches of ash, which is the
deepest it's acquired in over 60 years.
Yeah, you can see the ash on top of the snow.
Here another one making an ash.
Angel.
Majority of the ash moved westwards and evidently even
today, Thursday, April 13, 2023, it's still erupting.
The region has about 300,000 people
that live in this location.
It is to the north of Japan.
Northeast of Japan.
The Shiveluch Volcanic Eruption Response Team issued
a red notice for aviation saying ongoing
activity could affect the international and low
flying aircraft here on flightradar 24.
Com, you can see yeah, the majority
of the aircraft are avoiding this location.
The ashes actually coming all the way down
here to where my little hand is at.
Currently it looks like there's
only one aircraft, maybe two.
They're going to be going through that ash cloud.
This one is a private plane.
The dummy coming from Anchorage and going to Hong Kong.
And then we got another one.
Let's see.
It came from JFK International Airport there in
New York and is going to Seoul.
But 12 km, which the initial height of the ash
was at the same level, 12 km is 39,400ft.
Boy, they're taking chances going through there.
Yes, I would say they're just
especially this one here being foolish.
Unless they're going to climb higher.
I don't know.
Ash is devastating to engines.
Now this is another image of the ash
on top of the large piles of snow.
Some schools in the peninsula about 6800
km east of Moscow were closed and
residents were ordered to stay indoors.
They also had some power outages, so I don't
know if it was related to the ash.
You can see here in this image, the
line coming from the power pole is down.
Shiveluch has had over 60 eruptions in the past
10,000 years, the last major eruption being in 2007.
There was also another eruption, I believe, in 2010,
but that was not a major eruption initially.
On Tuesday, when they put out the red alert, the
service said the ash cloud was drifting westward to a
distance of more than 250 miles from the volcano.
Another image.
It looks like just a muddy
mess, but it's actually not mud.
That is ash.
Very harmful if you breathe it in.
There's another video showing a man walking
through the ash and it was kicking
up into the air around his feet.
It looks like some areas actually
got more ash than others.
Here's an image of them measuring it.
Here we have an image of Andesite that was blown out,
one of the rocks that was blown out from the volcano.
Let me try and make this bigger for you.
Andesite is an intermediate mixture of silica.
Here's another image of Kamchatka and an image of
the So Two being emitted by the volcano.
If I can bring this up, you can see
down here how many parts per million it is.
And here we have so two.
You can see it's going out across the Aleutian Islands.
And I'll bring this down so you can see
where that's where those stupid planes were flying.
Going back to flight radar 24.
And we got that one.
Yeah, he's currently almost 41,000ft.
So what are your thoughts?
Put your comments down below.
Thank you very much for watching.

And as always, be prepared for a
disaster and I'll talk to you later. God bless you. Bye.
