Gennady Karpov, a volcano expert at Russia's Academy of Sciences in the Far East, said Friday: "There were no lava lakes at Kamchatka volcanos before now. We have never seen this before." Plosky Tolbachik has emitted jets of hot lava up to 650 feet (200 meters) high. Its last eruption had occurred in November after the volcano was dormant for almost 40 years. Russian officials say the current eruptions are not likely to end any time soon. However, the volcano is not forcing any changes in the flight patterns of airlines that pass over that area of Russia, said Karpov and the European air traffic agency Eurocontrol in Belgium. AP correspondent Sylvia Hui contributed from London.
