Red Hot

27th November 2012, an explosion eruption began at Tolbachik volcano. The ash was reported to a height of 33,000 ft drifting north and northwest of the volcano. The height of ash emission was estimated from seismic records. Ashfall was reported at villages 35 km west of the Tolbachik to a depth of 4 cm.

During the peak activity at Tolbachik on 28-29 November 2012 eruptive fissures spread over tens of kilometres, and the eruption was heard 60 kilometres away.
