Red sky at night: Heavens turn crimson over Britain after Russian volcano erupts

AEA environmental consultants, which is responsible for measuring air quality in Britain, confirmed the hue was triggered by the volcano.

A spokesman said: ‘Maps from three different satellites show elevated sulphur dioxide in the arctic region, possible of volcanic origin.

‘With winds veering to the North, it is possible that over coming days this volcanic aerosols could be visible.’
Sarychev Peak, on Matua Island in Russia’s Kuril Archipelago, is one of the world’s most active volcanoes.
Commercial flights have been diverted away from the area to minimise the danger of engine failure from ash intake since the eruption on June 12. (Daily Mail)
