Ebi Cove Volcano Erupts Again!

The media office of the Institute of Volcano Seismology, part of the Russian Academy of Sciences in the Far East, announced that "Ebi Cove Volcano has ejected a column of volcanic ash to a height of 2.5 kilometers." The statement noted: "The volcanic ash column ejected by Ebi Cove Volcano on July 5 rose to 2.5 kilometers above sea level and spread three kilometers north of the volcano." The statement also indicates that "the activity of Ebi Cove Volcano poses a danger to local flights." It is worth mentioning that Ebi Cove is a complex stratovolcano with several craters at its summit. The volcano is located in the northern part of Paramushir Island, and its last eruption occurred in mid-November 2016. Due to the risk it poses to air travel, it is marked in orange, indicating it is very active and could erupt at any moment.
