Bezymianny volcano (Kamchatka): incandescent hot rock falls continue from lava dome

The eruption continues with the actively growing lava dome.
The latest image (8 April) of the volcano’s activity, taken by the volcanologist Yu. Demyanchuk, shows descending glowing lava block avalanches emanating from the lava dome. Block-and-ash flows continue to travel over the southwestern flanks accompanied by fine dust plumes (so-called phoenix clouds) as separated from currents. A viscous magma continues to rise into the developing lava dome, resulting in partially unstable hot lava material which is prone to collapse into hot rock falls.
