Residents of the Kamchatka region have been watching a local volcano erupt for almost a week. The stream of lava coming from Kluchevskaya Sopka has reached over one kilometre.
Geologists say it poses no danger to the nearby village, as a glacier on top of the volcano is preventing the lava flow from moving towards the settlement.
Kluchevskaya Sopka is the highest active volcano in Eurasia.
