Russia’s long-dormant Krasheninnikov volcano erupted for the first time in nearly 600 years, just days after the record-shattering 8.8 magnitude earthquake rocked the Kamchatka Peninsula. Experts say the quake likely triggered the volcano’s awakening, sending an ash plume soaring 6,000 meters into the sky and toward the Pacific Ocean. Meanwhile, across the world, New York City and New Jersey felt rare tremors as a magnitude 3.0 earthquake struck the area.
