55.97 N, 160.6 E; Elevation 9453 ft (2882 m)
Aviation Color Code is RED

A moderate gas-steam activity of the volcano continues. Satellite data by KVERT showed a thermal anomaly over the volcano.

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, ash explosions, hot avalanches and an incandescence of the dome blocks and hot avalanches accompany this process. According to KVERT satellite data, ash cloud, after explosions on 14 June, continued to drifting for about 650 km to the north-east and 300 km to the south-west from the volcano. A thermal anomaly was detected over the volcano.
