«Massive Volcanic Eruption in Russia Causes 60-Year Record Ash Infestation and Flight Cancellations»
Shiveluch Volcano, the most active volcano in Russia’s Kamchatka Region, reactivated on April 11, causing negative effects on air traffic. Alaska Airlines announced that they suspended some flights in the US state of Alaska due to ash clouds covering the sky. Officials reported that at least 23 flights were delayed, and more flights may be canceled depending on the movements and timing of the ash clouds.
Aleksey Ozerov, the Director of the Institute of Volcano Science and Seismology of the Far East Unit of the Russian Academy of Sciences, also made a statement regarding the ash invasion that paralyzed life in Kamchatka. He announced that the ash spread in the region reached a thickness of 6-8 centimeters, and this was last experienced in 1964. Surprisingly, there was no explanation from the local governments against the biggest ash invasion of the last 60 years.
The eruption of Shiveluch Volcano has caused significant disruptions to air travel and daily life in the region. Passengers are advised to check with their airlines for the latest updates on flight cancellations and delays. Authorities and residents are urged to take necessary precautions and stay safe during this time. The situation will continue to be monitored closely, and further updates will be provided as they become available.
