Vladivostok, Aug. 6 (Xinhua) — The dam in the area of Klyuchevskoy volcano in Kamchatka, built in 2023 to cut off the water flow between the right and left reaches of the Studenaya River, has been destroyed, the Institute of Volcanology and Seismology of the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IVS FEB RAS) reported on its Telegram channel on Wednesday.
"The dam in the area of the Klyuchevskoy volcano has been destroyed. Field work conducted by the staff of the IVS FEB RAS in the area of the Studenaya River from July 30 to August 2, 2025, showed that the dam, built in 2023 to cut off the water flow between the right and left reaches of the river, has been destroyed. Water flows along both branches of the river," the post says.
Activity in Klyuchevskoy has increased following the strong earthquake of July 30. A lava flow is descending towards the Bogdanovich Glacier. Melting ice is releasing huge masses of water that are rushing down the slope, producing large mudflows. The report also notes that if significant mudflows descend, there could be a threat to tourists in the Tolbachinsky Valley. –0–
