VONA/KVERT DAILY REPORT
Kamchatkan and Northern Kuriles Volcanic Activity
June 24, 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, ash explosions, 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

Activity of the volcano continues. Satellite data by KVERT showed a weak thermal anomaly over the volcano; an ash plume drifted for about 90 km to the south from the volcano.

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

A moderate activity of the volcano continues: an incandescence of the lava dome is observing at night and a lava flow is squeezing at the western flank of the lava dome. Satellite data by KVERT showed a thermal anomaly over the volcano.

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

Activity of the volcano continues. Satellite data by KVERT showed a thermal anomaly over the volcano; an ash plume drifted for about 50 km to the south-south-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 continues. According to the data by observers from Severo-Kurilsk (Paramushir Island, Northern Kuriles), several ash bursts up to 2 km a.s.l. occurred on that day. Satellite data by KVERT showed the volcano was obscured by clouds.
