Russia’s northernmost active volcano on Kamchatka Peninsula is spewing plumes of ash at a height of more than 6 kilometers,  the local branch of the National Geophysical Service reported on Sunday.

The 3,300m Mt. Shiveluch has been erupting for many days now with 80 underground temblors registered in the past 24 hours alone.

Scientists say the volcano poses significant danger to villages in the area, just like the nearby Klyuchevskaya volcano.
