About: The Klyuchevskoy volcano, one of the highest active stratovolcanoes volcanoes in the world erupts in Russia’s northern Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia.

The 4,650-meter (15,255-foot) volcano has been active in recent years and released lava in June 2023.

About Stratovolcanoes: They have relatively steep sides and are more cone-shaped than shield volcanoes. They are formed from viscous, sticky lava that does not flow easily.

The characteristics of a stratovolcano are as follows: 

  • The eruptions are very violent and explosive, hurling volcanic bombs due to gas building up in the viscous magma.
  • The lava builds up around the vent, forming a volcano with steep sides as high as 7,000 feet, and the shape is a symmetrical cone.
  • It consists of alternating layers of lava and ash.

Kamchatka Peninsula:

  • The Kamchatka Peninsula lies between the Bering Sea and the Pacific Ocean, and the Sea of Okhotsk.
  • It is part of the Kamchatka Krai. Kamchatka, also known as a land of fire and ice, sits on the Pacific Ring of Fire and is home to over 150 volcanoes,
