Volcano erupted on highly active ‘Ring of Fire’
The volcano erupted on the highly tectonically active ‘Ring of Fire’ in Kamchatka and Russia’s Far East.
Along with many active volcanoes, huge earthquakes are also a feature of the so-called Ring of Fire. All 10 of the most powerful earthquakes recorded in modern history were located there.
Kamchatka is also often referred to as the “land of fire and ice,” housing around 300 volcanoes, 29 of which are active, according to NASA.
