VONA/KVERT DAILY REPORT
Kamchatkan and Northern Kuriles Volcanic Activity

July 31, 2017, 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 (a viscous lava flow reveal in the northern its part), strong fumarole activity, hot avalanches and an incandescence of the dome blocks and hot avalanches accompany this process. Satellite data by KVERT showed a thermal anomaly over the volcano.

KLYUCHEVSKOY VOLCANO (CAVW #300260)
56.06 N, 160.64 E; Elevation 15580 ft (4750 m)
Aviation Color Code is ORANGE


A moderate gas-steam activity of the volcano continues. Satellite data by KVERT showed the volcano was obscured by clouds.

BEZYMIANNY VOLCANO (CAVW #300250)
55.97 N, 160.6 E; Elevation 9453 ft (2882 m)
Aviation Color Code is ORANGE


A moderate gas-steam activity of the volcano continues: a lava flow is squeezing at the north-western flank of the lava dome. Satellite data by KVERT showed the volcano was obscured by clouds.

KARYMSKY VOLCANO (CAVW #300130)
54.05 N, 159.44 E; Elevation 4874 ft (1486 m)
Aviation Color Code is ORANGE


A moderate gas-steam activity of the volcano continues. Satellite data by KVERT showed a gas-steam plume extended for about 30 km to the north-east from the volcano.

EBEKO VOLCANO (CAVW #290380)
50.69 N, 156.01 E; Elevation 3792 ft (1156 m)
Aviation Color Code is ORANGE


A moderate explosive activity of the volcano probably continues. Satellite data by KVERT showed a thermal anomaly over the volcano.
