THE AWESOME POWER OF RUSSIAN VOLCANOES

 
Photographer captures the incredible power and destruction caused by Russia's highest volcanoes as they erupt

  • Shots show eruptions from the Shiveluch and Kliuchevskoi volcanoes found on the Russian Kamchatka peninsula

  • Molecular biologist Dr Roscoe stayed awake for up to 20 hours to capture images of spewing lava

  • The 10,771 feet Shiveluch volcano erupted in 2009 and has been periodically spewing ash ever since

  • Kliuchevskoi first erupted in 1697 and several people have been killed by falling lava when attempting to climb it

  • There are more than 150 volcanoes on the Kamchatka Peninsula in the Far East of Russia and up to 30 are active
