Russian volcano is like the entrance to hell in satellite images

NASA's satellite captures an impressive image of a Russian volcano erupting ash, suggesting the entrance to hell.

Scientists at the NASA Aerospace Agency (NASA) photographed Shiveluch volcano on Russia's Kamchatka peninsula on Aug. 20 with radioactivity and heat emission (ASTER) devices on Terra satellite . This is part of a joint program between NASA and Japanese scientists to monitor pollution, monitor the climate and atmosphere of the Earth, according to Cnet.

Looking at the photo, we can see the Shiveluch volcano that looks like a gate to hell, actively spraying ash. The bright colored area is the clouds flying around. The smaller volcano called Bezymianny underneath, exalted Shiveluch's large size.

According to the Smithsonian Research Institute, the United States, Shiveluch volcano erupted continuously for more than a decade, starting since 1999. NASA describes it as one of the most active volcanoes in the world.

Shiveluch volcano has an altitude of 3,283m, a volcanic foot diameter of about 45 - 50km. The highest point of the volcanic activity section is called Young Shiveluch, located at 2,800m above sea level. The nearest residential area is Klyuchi, 50km from the mountain.
