Currently, several tourist groups have gathered at the foot of the Klyuchevskaya Sopka volcano, with travelers expressing a desire to witness the eruption firsthand.

“During nighttime, the volcano’s eruption is visible, including the flow of molten lava down the western slope, a powerful glow above the crater, and explosions. Despite this, no tour cancellations or complaints have been reported among tourists visiting the area. On the contrary, many travelers are eager to observe this natural phenomenon personally,” the statement reads.

It was also noted that several tourist groups are already in the area. Tour operators strictly follow emergency service guidelines and prevent tourists from approaching unsafe distances.

“The eruption poses the greatest danger to those planning to climb the volcano. Klyuchevskaya Sopka remains extremely hazardous for climbers during its active phase. It is strongly advised to avoid such routes and heed all warnings from rescue services,” the statement added.
