The volcanic ash advisory center (VAAC) Tokyo issued a warning this morning for ash hazard up to FL270 (8.2 km) extending south-west which by now has dissipated. KVERT has the volcano on orange alert and estimated the height of the ash plume to 13120-16400 ft (4-5 km) above sea level. The plume was barely visible on todays Aqua/Modis…

Is she biding her time, or have plate movements reduced the supply of magma? I came across this volcano while rummaging around the internet to research Tolbachik. A quick Google around for Nachikinsky does not find much; and, she is not listed in GVP. Most of this post is based on a comprehensive study carried…
