Kamchatkan and Northern Kuriles Volcanic Activity
October 20, 2016, all time is UTC
SHEVELUCH VOLCANO (CAVW #300270)
56.64 N, 161.32 E; Elevation 10768 ft (3283 m), the dome elevation ~8200 ft (2500 m)
Aviation Color Code is ORANGE
A growth of the lava dome continues, fumarolic activity and incandescence of the dome summit and hot avalanches accompanies this process. Satellite data by KVERT showed a thermal anomaly over the volcano. Ash plume on the height about 6 km a.s.l. extended for about 58.5 km to the north from the volcano.
KLYUCHEVSKOY VOLCANO (CAVW #300260)
56.06 N, 160.64 E; Elevation 15580 ft (4750 m)
Aviation Color Code is ORANGE
Explosive-effusive eruption of the volcano continues. The lava flows are effusing on the eastern flank of the volcano. Satellite data by KVERT showed a large bright thermal anomaly in the area of the volcano, and strong gas-steam plume drifted for about 55.5 km to the north-northeast from the volcano.
BEZYMIANNY VOLCANO (CAVW #300250)
55.97 N, 160.6 E; Elevation 9453 ft (2882 m)
Aviation Color Code is YELLOW
A moderate gas-steam activity of the volcano continues. Satellite data by KVERT showed a weak thermal anomaly over the volcano.
