The most powerful recorded eruption that took place on Shiveluch Volcano was recorded in 2009, according to NASA.
Shiveluch, one of Kamchatka’s largest volcanoes, has its summit reaching 3,283m (10,771ft) and is also one of the peninsula’s most active ones, with an estimated 60 large eruptions in the past 10,000 years. Situated in the northernmost region, this volcano is more than three thousand meters and the nearest residential village is about 50 kilometers away.
Looks like real global warming right there. If that thing blows, wonder how much snow and ice is gonna melt?
ReplyDeleteLooks like Mt. Saint Helens, a microsecond before the Earth-Shattering KA-BOOM!
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering if it's going to affect the weather like the '91 eruption of Mount Pinitubo.
ReplyDeleteSame thing I'm wondering and thinking. One or two good eruptions and our harvests are affected for the next year or two, and that oh so dangerous global warming suddenly means bitterly cold winters. Might be a good thing to wake some folks up, those that don't freeze to death.
ReplyDeleteAn eruption like that outta cool the northern hemisphere some.
ReplyDeleteGot stuck in Barrow, AK for a week after it burped in 2017. The ash cloud kept anything from flying between Anchorage and anywhere north of the Alaska Range. The entire top half of the state was isolated.
