KVERT DAILY REPORT
Kamchatkan and Kuriles Volcanic Activity
June 29, 2020, 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 Colour Code is ORANGE
A growth of the lava dome continues, a strong fumarolic activity sometimes with some amount of ash and an incandescence of the dome blocks and hot avalanches accompanies 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 Colour Code is ORANGE
A moderate explosive-effusive eruption of the volcano continues. The Strombolian and gas-steam with some amount of ash activity was observed. The lava flow continues to move along Apakhonchich chute on the southeastern volcanic flank, crashes of slag from the starboard side of the chute sometimes accompany its movement. Satellite data showed a large bright thermal anomaly in an area of the volcano.
KARYMSKY VOLCANO (CAVW #300130)
54.05 N, 159.44 E; Elevation 4874 ft (1486 m)
Aviation Colour Code is ORANGE
A moderate gas-steam, and possibly the Strombolian activity of the volcano continues. Satellite data by KVERT showed a thermal anomaly over the volcano.
EBEKO VOLCANO (CAVW #290380)
50.69 N, 156.01 E; Elevation 3792 ft (1156 m)
Aviation Colour Code is ORANGE
A moderate explosive eruption of the volcano continues. According to visual data by volcanologists from Severo-Kurilsk, explosions sent ash up to 2.5 km a.s.l., ash clouds drifted to the south-west of the volcano. 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 Colour Code is YELLOW
A moderate gas-steam activity of the volcano continues. Satellite data by KVERT showed a thermal anomaly over the volcano.
