For the first time in over 600 years, Russia’s Krasheninnikov volcano has erupted — and it’s all caught on camera. Local guide Artyom Sheldovitski filmed rare footage showing massive lava bursts and ash plumes on Day 2 of the eruption in the remote Kronotsky Nature Reserve in Kamchatka. The volcano’s awakening comes days after a powerful 8.8-magnitude earthquake rocked the region. Experts believe the quake may have reactivated not just Krasheninnikov, but five other volcanoes now showing signs of eruption — including Klyuchevskoy, Bezymianny, Kambalny, and Karymsky. Scientists are calling it a “parade of eruptions” not seen since the year 1737.
