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 Colour Code is ORANGE A moderate explosive-effusive eruption of the volcano continues. The Strombolian and gas-steam with some amount of ash activity were observed. A lava flow continues to effuse along the southern flank of the volcano. Satellite data showed a large bright thermal anomaly in an area of the volcano; a gas-steam plume extended for 107 km to the east and northeast of the volcano. EBEKO VOLCANO (CAVW #290380) 50.69 N, 156.01 E; Elevation 3792 ft (1156 m) Aviation Colour Code is ORANGE A moderate activity of the volcano continues. According to visual data by volcanologists from Severo-Kurilsk, explosions sent ash up to 3.5 km a.s.l.; ash clouds drifted to the southeast of the volcano. Satellite data by KVERT showed the volcano was obscured by clouds.
