Image Caption:
S39-151-179 Klyuchevskaya volcano, Kamchatka. This near vertical
view of the same volcano was taken a couple of days after S39-
77-10. The south side of the volcano is dirty from ash fall and
local landslide activity. The summit is clearly visable, as is
the debris flow from an earlier episode of activity. There are
several other nearby volcanoes in the Klyuchevskaya complex.




Klyuchevskaya, Volcano, Kamchatka Peninsula, CIS (56.0N, 160.5E) is one of several active volcanoes in the CIS and is 15,584 ft. in elevation. Fresh ash fall on the south side of the caldera can be seen as a dirty smudge on the fresh snowfall. Just to the north of the Kamchatka River is Shiveluch, a volcano which had been active a short time previously. There are more than 100 volcanic edifices recognized on Kamchatka, 15 of which are still active.
