56.64 N, 161.32 E; Elevation 3283 m (10768 ft), the dome elevation ~2500 m (8200 ft)
Aviation Colour Code is ORANGE
A growth of the lava dome continues, a strong fumarolic activity, an incandescence of the lava dome, explosions, and hot avalanches accompanies this process. Video and satellite data by KVERT showed a thermal anomaly over the volcano; the plume of resuspended ash extended for 332 km to the east of the volcano.
KLYUCHEVSKOY VOLCANO (CAVW #300260)
56.06 N, 160.64 E; Elevation 4750 m (15580 ft)
Aviation Colour Code is ORANGE
A strong wind lifts ash from the eastern slopes of the volcano, and a plume of resuspended ash extends for 225 km to the east-southeast of the volcano. Klyuchevskoy volcano is quiet, its has no eruption at now.
KARYMSKY VOLCANO (CAVW #300130)
54.05 N, 159.44 E; Elevation 1486 m (4874 ft)
Aviation Colour Code is ORANGE
An activity of the volcano continues. Satellite data by KVERT showed a weak thermal anomaly over the volcano.
ALAID VOLCANO (CAVW #290390)
50.86 N, 155.56 E; Elevation 2339 m (7672 ft)
Aviation Colour Code is ORANGE
