Shocking: Russian volcano erupts violently, tourists risk their lives to compete for "virtual life"

The Klyuchevskaya Sopka volcano erupted spectacularly, tourists did not leave their tours but stayed to admire. Russia has also just lifted the tsunami warning after the 8.8 magnitude earthquake in Kamchatka.

At 4,750 meters high, Klyuchevskaya Sopka is among the highest active volcanoes in the world. When the mountain suddenly erupted recently, many people thought that tours there would be canceled. However, the situation was completely opposite. Instead of panicking, many tourists decided to stay, even wanting to witness the majestic scene of red lava flowing down the mountainside at night.

According to information from the Russian Tourism Union (RUTI) quoted by RIA Novosti news agency, the eruption occurred on the western slope of the volcano at night. However, travel agencies have not received any requests to cancel tours. On the contrary, many tourists said they felt this was a rare opportunity to experience the spectacular natural phenomenon.

However, experts warn that Klyuchevskaya Sopka is not a destination for the inexperienced. The rugged terrain, strong winds, extreme temperatures and frequent snowfalls make it a high-risk destination. Eight people died during an expedition to the volcano in September 2022. The heartbreaking incident prompted local authorities to issue repeated warnings and tighten safety measures for mountaineering and geological exploration.

Not only facing volcanoes, the Russian Far East region has recently experienced a magnitude 8.8 earthquake, accompanied by a tsunami warning. However, according to Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, Russia has not recorded any deaths caused by the earthquake. Although he did not specify the number of injured people, Mr. Peskov affirmed that the tsunami warning system was activated at the right time, helping people evacuate in time.

"The load-bearing capacity of construction works was clearly demonstrated in this earthquake. Thanks to the solid design and quick response, no human losses were recorded," Mr. Peskov emphasized.

In response to public concerns, the Russian government has decided to lift the tsunami warning for the Kamchatka Peninsula, which is near the epicenter of the earthquake. The Severo-Kurilsky District, located in the southernmost part of the peninsula, has also announced the lifting of the state of emergency, TASS news agency reported. People are allowed to return to normal activities, but rescue and rapid response forces are always on standby.

In the Sakhalin region, Governor Valery Limarenko reassured residents that there was no longer a tsunami threat in the Northern Kuril Islands – a chain of volcanic islands in Russia's Far East. "The situation has stabilized. We are maintaining the continuous operation of emergency services to ensure maximum safety for residents," he said.

Recent developments in Kamchatka and the surrounding area have once again shown that nature is full of surprises and unpredictable dangers. However, with the proactiveness of the government and the vigilance of the community, Russia has somewhat limited serious damage.

Despite the usual concerns, the eruption of Klyuchevskaya Sopka is becoming a highlight for adventurous and adventurous tourists. Some travel agencies said they have received more requests from people who want to “hunt for natural phenomena” in the coming days. However, they also noted that the trip will only take place if weather conditions and geological activity are considered safe.

Despite the recent volcanic eruption and earthquake, many tourists still refuse to back down. Their recklessness turns an area that should have been evacuated into a risky check-in spot, causing experts to worry about risking their lives in search of virtual moments.
