Krasheninnikov volcano on Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula erupts for first time in 600 years, sending ash 3.7 miles high following massive 8.8-magnitude earthquake.

Images of the volcanic eruption, which occurred on the Kronotsky Reserve, were released by Russian state media and showed dense clouds of ash rising above the volcano. Story tips and ideas can be sent to Greg.Wehner@Fox.com and on Twitter @GregWehner.
"The plume is spreading eastward from the volcano toward the Pacific Ocean," Kamchatka’s emergencies ministry wrote on Telegram during the eruption. "There are no populated areas along its path, and no ashfall has been recorded in inhabited localities."
