Seven volcanoes, including Eurasia’s highest Klyuchevskoi, Krasheninnikov, Avachinsky, and others, have woken up in Russia’s Kamchatka after a powerful quake last week.

The scientists of the Volcanology and Seismology Institute of Russia’s Academy of Science in the country’s Far East called this a “parade of volcanic eruptions” and said that it happened for the first time in 300 years.
