Ebeko is one of the most active volcanoes of the Kuril Islands, which is believed to have erupted at least 11 times over the past 230 years.
Ebeko, a so-called somma volcano (a type of volcano within a volcano), located on the Kuril Islands in Russia, has woken up after a long period of mild activity, shooting a pillar of ashes into the sky.
A video of Ebeko emerged online, showing what were described as its “rocket launches” because the billows of smoke and the roaring sounds made it resemble a spaceport just a few seconds before take-off.
