Hazard synopsis
Hazards are caused by ash plumes, ash falls, lava and mud flows. Ash falls produced by powerful explosive eruptions, mudflows present potential hazard for Klyuchi and other settlements and structures situated close to the volcano.

Klyuchevskoy volcano exposes high potential hazard to the aircrafts flying over Kamchatka because its eruptive clouds can rise to a height of 10-15 km ASL and extend for hundreds of kilometers and duration of eruptions can exceed a few months.

Klyuchi (30 km to the north from the volcano)
Kozyrevsk (47 km to the west)
Esso (120 km to the west)
Ust’-Kamchatsk (120 km to the east)
Milkovo (200 km to the south-west)
Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky (360 km to the south-south-west)
Monitoring status
