In Kamtchatka, the Tolbachik volcano began to erupt on November 27, 2012. Volcanologists did not predict this increased activity in advance. It was the seismic sensors located at the foot of the giant that alerted the scientists that something was happening under Tolbachik. Experts could confirm their suspicions only a few days later, when the clouds dispersed. During this time, a flow of red-hot lava came within about 15 kilometers (9 miles) of Kozyrevsk village.
