Over time, that activity can build up a new cone to replace the old, exploded one. However, Bezymianny is the first such volcano that scientists have been able to observe reforming in real time.<\/p>\n<p>Photographs from the past seven decades show the evolution of Bezymianny&#8217;s edifice. Slow by human standards, in geologic terms, it&#8217;s all happened very quickly. Not long after the initial eruption, two lava domes formed about 400m apart. Over the next 20 years, they shifted and expanded, becoming 200m closer. Fifty years after the 1956 eruption, the two vents merged into one central cone.<\/p>\n<p>Based on current projections, Bezymianny will completely regain its old size within the next decade. In the past few years, Bezmianny has seemed particularly eager to reclaim its old height. October 2023 was notable, with lava flows, avalanches, and ash plumes, which prompted authorities to issue aviation warnings.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_110830\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-110830\" class=\"size-full wp-image-110830\" src=\"https:\/\/explorersweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/300250_BGVN_058.jpg\" alt=\"A volcano emitting a plume of ash, with the orange glow of lava around its summit\" width=\"800\" height=\"484\" srcset=\"https:\/\/explorersweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/300250_BGVN_058.jpg 800w, https:\/\/explorersweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/300250_BGVN_058-300x182.jpg 300w, https:\/\/explorersweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/300250_BGVN_058-700x424.jpg 700w, https:\/\/explorersweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/300250_BGVN_058-768x465.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-110830\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bezymianny in October of 2023.

Endogenous growth occurs when an inflow of magma beneath the surface causes it to swell outwards. Exogenous growth occurs when expelled lava hardens into rock, building up the volcano from outside.<\/p>\n<p>The lava can also be expelled quickly and violently, resulting in extrusive growth, or in a gradual outflowing, called effusive eruption. Between 1956 and 1977, Bezymianny transitioned from endogenous to extrusive growth. After a 1977 spike in activity, it became dominated by extrusive and effusive activity.<\/p>\n<p>Part of the Pacific Ring of Fire, Kamchatka has over 300 volcanoes, of which 29 of them, including Bezymianny, are active.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bezymianny volcano in Kamchatka, Russia has reformed since a 1956 eruption destroyed its cone.
