VONA/KVERT WEEKLY INFORMATION RELEASE 20-2017 Kamchatkan and Northern Kuriles Volcanic Activity May 19, 2017, 03:19 UTC (May 19, 2017, 15:19 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 BEZYMIANNY, KLYUCHEVSKOY, SHEVELUCH: ORANGE AVACHINSKY, DIKY GREBEN, GAMCHEN, GORELY, ICHINSKY, ILIINSKY, KAMBALNY, KARYMSKY, KHANGAR, KHODUTKA, KIKHPINYCH, KIZIMEN, 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 26,200-32,800 ft (8-10 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 KVERT satellite data, a powerful explosive event occurred on 16 May, with the ascent of ash cloud up to 11 km a.s.l. and moving it for about 150 km to the east-north-east from the volcano, as well as the formation of pyroclastic flows deposits on the southern slopes of the volcano. On 13-14 May, a series of separate explosions sent ash up to 4.5-5 km a.s.l., on 18 May occurred two separate ash esplosions. On 13 May, ash clouds moved to the south-west, on 14 May - to the south-east, on 16-19 May - to the east-north-east for about 400 km from the volcano. A thermal anomaly over the volcano was noted all week. http://www.kscnet.ru/ivs/kvert/volc.php?lang=en&name=Sheveluch KLYUCHEVSKOY VOLCANO (CAVW #300260) 56.06 N, 160.64 E; Elevation 15580 ft (4750 m) Aviation Color Code is ORANGE The activity of the volcano continues. Ash explosions up to 26,200 ft (8 km) a.s.l. could occur at any time. Ongoing activity could affect international and low-flying aircraft. A moderate activity of the volcano continues. According to video and satellite data by KVERT, on 17 May, explosions sent ash up to 6 km a.s.l. and ash plume extended for about 180 km to the north and north-east from the volcano. A weak thermal anomaly over the volcano was noted all week. http://www.kscnet.ru/ivs/kvert/volc.php?lang=en&name=Klyuchevskoy BEZYMIANNY VOLCANO (CAVW #300250) 55.97 N, 160.6 E; Elevation 9453 ft (2882 m) Aviation Color Code is ORANGE A moderate activity of the volcano continues. Strong ash explosions up to 32,800 ft (10 km) a.s.l. could occur at any time. Ongoing activity could affect international and low-flying aircraft. A gas-steam activity of the volcano continues. Satellite data by KVERT showed a thermal anomaly over the volcano all week. http://www.kscnet.ru/ivs/kvert/volc.php?lang=en&name=Bezymianny 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 the data by observers from Severo-Kurilsk (Paramushir Island, Northern Kuriles), several ash bursts up to 2 km a.s.l. occurred on 15 May. 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 IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS, PLEASE CONTACT: Dr. Olga A.
