50.69 N, 156.01 E; Elevation 3792 ft (1156 m)
Aviation Color Code is ORANGE
A moderate gas-steam activity of the volcano continues. Satellite data by KVERT showed the volcano was quiet.

VONA/KVERT WEEKLY INFORMATION RELEASE 22-2017
Kamchatkan and Northern Kuriles Volcanic Activity
June 02, 2017, 02:10 UTC (June 02, 2017, 14:10 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:

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, powerful explosions sent ash up to 8 km a.s.l. on 26-27 and 31 May. Ash clouds and plumes drifted for about 550 km to the east-south-east and for about 650 to the west-south-west from the volcano. A thermal anomaly over the volcano was noted all week.

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 satellite data by KVERT, a weak thermal anomaly over the volcano was noted on 27 and 30-31 May, and 01 June. Explosions sent ash up to 6 km a.s.l. on 01-02 June, and ash plume drifted for about 400 km to the south-south-east from the volcano. Ash plume drifted over Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky and Elizovo, but ashfalls in the cities were not observed in connection with the weak content of ash particles in the plume.

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.
According to the data by observers from Severo-Kurilsk (Paramushir Island, Northern Kuriles), a moderate explosive activity of the volcano continues. Satellite data by KVERT showed the volcano was quiet or obscured by clouds.
