A massive volcanic eruption continued for a second day on April 12 on Russia’s far eastern Kamchatka Peninsula, throwing clouds of dust high into the sky and blanketing wide areas with ash. Shiveluch, one of Kamchatka’s most active volcanoes, started erupting early on April 11, spewing dust over 500 kilometers (more than 300 miles) northwest and engulfing several villages in grey volcanic dust in the largest fallout in nearly 60 years. The Kamchatka branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences Geophysical Survey said the eruption continued on April 12, spewing clouds of dust 10 kilometers into the sky. (AP)
