VONA/KVERT WEEKLY INFORMATION RELEASE 40-2017 Kamchatkan and Northern Kuriles Volcanic Activity October 06, 2017, 00:20 UTC (October 06, 2017, 12:20 KST) KVERT monitor 30 active volcanoes of Kamchatka and 6 active volcanoes of Northern Kuriles. Not all of these volcanoes had eruptions in historical time, however they are potentially active and therefore are of concern to aviation. SUMMARY OF AVIATION COLOR CODES: KAMCHATKA KARYMSKY, SHEVELUCH: ORANGE BEZYMIANNY: YELLOW AVACHINSKY, DIKY GREBEN, GAMCHEN, GORELY, ICHINSKY, ILIINSKY, KAMBALNY, KHANGAR, KHODUTKA, KIKHPINYCH, KIZIMEN, KLYUCHEVSKOY, KOMAROV, KORYAKSKY, KOSHELEV, KRASHENINNIKOV, KRONOTSKY, KSUDACH, MALY SEMYACHIK, MUTNOVSKY, OPALA, PLOSKY TOLBACHIK, TAUNSHITS, USHKOVSKY, VYSOKY, ZHELTOVSKY, ZHUPANOVSKY: GREEN NORTHERN KURILES EBEKO: ORANGE ALAID, CHIKURACHKI, FUSS PEAK, KARPINSKY, TATARINOV: GREEN 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 Explosive-extrusive eruption of the volcano continues. Ash explosions up to 32,800-49,200 ft (10-15 km) a.s.l. could occur at any time. Ongoing activity could affect international and low-flying aircraft. A growth of the lava dome continues (a viscous lava flow reveal in the northern its part), strong fumarole activity, ash explosions, hot avalanches and an incandescence of the dome blocks and hot avalanches accompany this process. According to satellite data by KVERT, a thermal anomaly over the volcano was noting on 02 and 05 October; clouds obscured the volcano in the other days of week. http://www.kscnet.ru/ivs/kvert/volc.php?lang=en&name=Sheveluch KARYMSKY VOLCANO (CAVW #300130) 54.05 N, 159.44 E; Elevation 4874 ft (1486 m) Aviation Color Code is ORANGE A moderate activity of the volcano continues. A danger of ash explosions up to 16,400-23,000 ft (5-7 km) a.s.l. is remains. Ongoing activity could affect low-flying aircraft. A moderate activity of the volcano continues. Satellite data by KVERT showed ash plume drifted for about 85 km to the east-northeast from the volcano on 03 October. http://www.kscnet.ru/ivs/kvert/volc.php?lang=en&name=Karymsky EBEKO VOLCANO (CAVW #290380) 50.69 N, 156.01 E; Elevation 3792 ft (1156 m) Aviation Color Code is ORANGE A moderate gas-steam with some amount of ash activity of the volcano continues. Ash explosions up to 16,400 ft (5 km) a.s.l. could occur at any time. Ongoing activity could affect low-flying aircraft and airport of Severo-Kurilsk. A moderate explosive activity of the volcano continues. According to visual data by volcanologists from Severo-Kurilsk, explosions sent ash up to 1.5 km a.s.l. on 29-30 September and 01 and 05 October; in the other days of week the volcano was obscured by clouds. Satellite data by KVERT showed the volcano was quiet or obscured by clouds. http://www.kscnet.ru/ivs/kvert/volc.php?lang=en&name=Ebeko BEZYMIANNY VOLCANO (CAVW #300250) 55.97 N, 160.6 E; Elevation 9453 ft (2882 m) Aviation Color Code is YELLOW A gas-steam activity of the volcano continues. Ongoing activity could affect low-flying aircraft. A moderate gas-steam activity of the volcano continues. Possibly a lava flow continued to squeezing at the western flank of the lava dome. Satellite data by KVERT showed a thermal anomaly over the volcano on 01-02 and 04-05 October; in the other days of week the volcano was obscured by clouds. http://www.kscnet.ru/ivs/kvert/volc.php?lang=en&name=Bezymianny IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS, PLEASE CONTACT: Dr. Olga A.
