Klyuchevskoy Volcano yesterday evening ( Kamchatka is GMT +12hrs).

Several volcanoes are active on the Kamchatka peninsular right now, something not seen since 1737.

There’s a thermal anomaly at Mutnovsky, Krasheninnikov is erupting, and Klyuchevskoy is especially intense, with lava flows that could threaten the Petropavlovsk–Ust-Kamchatsk highway and even melt the Bogdanovich Glacier.

Earthquake magnitude 8.8 in Vilyuchinsk, Kamchatka, July 30.

[Weather Monitor @WeatherMonitors]

New video shows absolutely stunning footage of Krasheninnikov erupting after 600 years.

On August 2, 2025, it recorded its first-ever eruption, with ash soaring up to 5-6 km high. Scientists believe it may be linked to the recent M8.8 earthquake.

📍 Kamchatka, Russia.

Amazing footage of the tsunami run up from that M8.8 off Kamchatka. Filmed at Onekotan, Kuril Islands.

🌟FREE TO READ #KAMCHATKA #EARTHQUAKE PAPERS🌟As a service to researchers working on the 2025 M8.8 Kamchatka earthquake, we have curated a list of papers related to the region, free until until 22 August https://t.co/BF5wWVs4vG

Дмитрий Песков о ситуации на Камчатке:
Сейсмоустойчивость зданий себя оправдала, нет никаких жертв.
Все системы оповещения своевременно сработали, из мест, где была угроза цунами, людей эвакуриовали
Технологическая подготовленность себя оправдала и показала себя на высоком уровне

[Ian Pierce @neotectonic]

Just saw a report stating 0 casualties resulting from building damage or ground motions from the Kamchatka earthquake, if true that is very fortunate. It does not provide clarification on the result of the tsunami, though people were evacuated.

[Kirill Bakanov @WeatherSarov1]

M 8.8 earthquake in Kamchatka. Look at this ground motion!

[Kristen Chiama @ChiamaKristen]

New paper alert!!

We performed ~3,500 2D distinct element method (DEM) experiments exploring relationships between fault and sediment properties on patterns of fault scarp morphologies observed in thrust and reverse fault earthquakes!
