STORYLINE:
A volcano is continuing to erupt in Russia's Far East, sending plumes of gas and ash into the sky.
Footage filmed on Friday shows rivers of molten lava flowing in the area of the Plosky Tolbachik volcano, in Kamchatka peninsula.
"The hot materials have erupted to the height of up to one hundred metres," said Yuri Demyanchuk, a volcanologist who has made several visits to the site.
According to authorities, there is no immediate threat to residential areas, but officials have advised residents to ensure they have access to protective masks.
The nearest town is around 60 kilometres away.
The volcano started erupting in November, after lying dormant for almost 40 years.
