KVERT DAILY REPORT Kamchatkan and Kuriles Volcanic Activity January 15, 2019, 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 viscous lava blocks extrude out on the northern part of it), a strong fumarolic activity and an incandescence of the dome blocks and hot avalanches accompanies this process. According to video and satellite data, a gas-steam plume with some amount of ash on the height 3.5-4.5 km a.s.l. drifted for about 274 km to the east-south-east from the volcano. Satellite data by KVERT showed a large 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 eruptive activity of the volcano continues. According to visual data, explosions sent ash up to 1.4 km a.s.l., ash clouds drifted to the north from 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. KARYMSKY VOLCANO (CAVW #300130) 54.05 N, 159.44 E; Elevation 4874 ft (1486 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. Fresh deposits of ash extended for about 20 km to the east-southeast from the volcano. CONTACT INFORMATION: Duty scientist: Olga A.
