Satellite data by KVERT showed an ash plume and later a long ash cloud moved for 1915 km to the northeast of the volcano on 23-24 October. The extrusive-effusive eruption of the volcano continues, a strong fumarole activity, an incandescence of the lava dome at night, and hot avalanches accompanies this process. Satellite data showed a bright thermal anomaly over the volcano. KVERT continues to monitor Bezymianny volcano. The extrusive-effusive eruption of the volcano continues. Ongoing activity could affect low-flying aircraft.

(14) Remarks:	Bezymianny volcano is the most active volcano of the world. In 1955, for the first time in history, Bezymianny started to erupt and after six months it produced a catastrophic eruption with the total volume of eruptive products over 3 km3. The lava dome began to grow in the explosive crater immediately after the catastrophe and continues at now.
