The Krasheninnikov Volcano erupted for the first time in 500 years possibly triggered by the 8.8 magnitude earthquake last wednesday. The eruption threw ash 6 km into the atmosphere and triggered a 7 magnitude earth quake. There's a possibility that this is a precurser to a larger eruption.


Krasheninnikov is in remote Easter Russia but is part of the Pacific Ring of fire. There's a possibility that we might see some ash affects in Alberta later on in the week.
