KVERT DAILY REPORT
Kamchatkan and Kuriles Volcanic Activity
July 01, 2023, all time is UTC
SHEVELUCH VOLCANO (CAVW #300270)
56.64 N, 161.32 E; Elevation 3283 m (10768 ft), the dome elevation ~2500 m (8200 ft)
Aviation Colour Code is ORANGE
The extrusive-effusive eruption of the volcano continues: a lava is squeezed out in the explosive crater of the Young Sheveluch, it is accompanied by powerful gas-steam activity. In the area of the Karan dome, powerful gas-steam activity is also observed. According to KVERT satellite data, thermal anomalies were observed in the areas of the active lava dome and Karan dome. An ash plume extended for 57 km to the west of the volcano.
EBEKO VOLCANO (CAVW #290380)
50.69 N, 156.01 E; Elevation 1156 m (3792 ft)
Aviation Colour Code is ORANGE
A moderate activity of the volcano continues. Satellite data by KVERT showed the volcano was obscured by clouds.
KLYUCHEVSKOY VOLCANO (CAVW #300260)
56.06 N, 160.64 E; Elevation 4750 m (15580 ft)
Aviation Colour Code is YELLOW
The explosive eruption of Strombolian-type of the volcano continues. Satellite data by KVERT showed a thermal anomaly over the volcano.
BEZYMIANNY VOLCANO (CAVW #300250)
55.97 N, 160.6 E; Elevation 2882 m (9453 ft)
Aviation Colour Code is YELLOW
An extrusive-effusive eruption of the volcano continues, a strong fumarolic activity, and sometimes an incandescence of the lava dome accompanies this process. Satellite data by KVERT showed a thermal anomaly over the volcano.

(10) Summit Elevation:3283 m (10768.24 ft), the dome elevation ~2500 m (8200 ft)(11) Volcanic Activity Summary:A growth of the lava dome continues, a strong fumarolic activity and explosions accompanies this process. Satellite data by KVERT showed a gas-steam plume with some amount of ash extended about 39 km to the west from the volcano.\n\nAn extrusive-effusive eruption of the volcano continues. A danger of ash explosions up to 10 km (32,800 ft) a.s.l. is remains. Ongoing activity could affect international and low-flying aircraft.
