Second ash emission was recorded in less than an hour. His height was about 8.5 km above sea level. Another third , ash emission occurred at a height of 7 meters above sea level at 11:43 on Kamchatka time.Taking into account the wind direction, ash plumes from the second and third in a row of ash emissions spread westward from the volcano.
