2010 Eruption
As early as 27 February, gas plumes had erupted from Klyuchevskaya Sopka (reaching elevations of 22,500 feet) and during the first week of March 2010, both explosive ash eruptions and effusive lava eruptions occurred until, by 9 March, the ash cloud was reported to have reached an elevation of 20,000 feet. Also, significant thermal anomalies have been reported and gas-steam plumes extended roughly 31 miles to the north-east from the volcano on 3 March.

Famous quotes containing the word eruption:
“I have done my fiddling so long under Vesuvius that I have almost forgotten to play, and can only wait for the eruption and think it long of coming. Literally no man has more wholly outlived life than I. And still it’s good fun.”
—Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
