VONA/KVERT DAILY REPORT Kamchatkan and Northern Kuriles Volcanic Activity August 08, 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. According to video data by KVERT, eruption of Sheveluch volcano began from 16:31 UTC. Explosions sent ash up to 10 km a.s.l., and ash cloud drifted for about 477 km to the south-south-east from the volcano. A thermal anomaly was noted over the volcano. KLYUCHEVSKOY VOLCANO (CAVW #300260) 56.06 N, 160.64 E; Elevation 15580 ft (4750 m) Aviation Color Code is ORANGE A moderate eruptive activity of the volcano continues. Satellite data by KVERT showed ash plume drifted for about 140 km to the south-east 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 eruptive activity of the volcano continues: an incandescence of the lava dome is observing at night and a lava flow is squeezing at the north-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 A moderate eruptive activity of the volcano continues. Satellite data by KVERT showed a thermal anomaly over the volcano; an ash cloud drifted for about 30 km to the south-west 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 probably continues. Satellite data by KVERT showed the volcano was obscured by clouds. CONTACT INFORMATION: Duty scientist: Olga A. Girina, E-mail: girina@kscnet.ru Tel.
