The eruption of a volcano in Russia's Kamchatka peninsula may be linked to a massive earthquake last week, experts say.

The eruption of the Krasheninnikov volcano on Sunday in Russia’s Far East came after a series of seismic events this past week on the Kamchatka peninsula.

A volcano in eastern Russia erupted for the first time in 475 years, prompting a tsunami warning. The Krasheninnikov volcano in Kamchatka became active days after one of the strongest earthquakes ever recorded hit the region.
