In the area of the Karan dome, powerful gas-steam activity is also observed. Satellite data by KVERT showed a thermal anomaly over the volcano. KLYUCHEVSKOY VOLCANO (CAVW #300260) 56.06 N, 160.64 E; Elevation 4750 m (15580 ft) Aviation Colour Code is ORANGE Strombolian-type of explosive eruption of the Klyuchevskoy volcano is observing from December 27, 2023. The bright thermal anomaly over the volcano is noting at satellite images. Satellite and video data by KVERT showed an ash column rose up to 6 km a.s.l., and an ash plume is extending for 195 km to the north-west of the volcano. EBEKO VOLCANO (CAVW #290380) 50.69 N, 156.01 E; Elevation 1156 m (3792 ft) Aviation Colour Code is ORANGE A moderate explosive eruption of the volcano continues. According to visual data from Severo-Kurilsk, explosions sent ash up to 2.8 km a.s.l., and ash clouds drifted to the south-east of the volcano. Satellite data by KVERT showed the volcano was obscured by clouds. BEZYMIANNY VOLCANO (CAVW #300250) 55.97 N, 160.6 E; Elevation 2882 m (9453 ft) Aviation Colour Code is YELLOW An effusive eruption of the volcano continues; a strong fumarolic activity, sometimes hot avalanches and an incandescence of the lava dome is accompanied this process. Satellite data by KVERT showed a thermal anomaly over the volcano. CONTACT INFORMATION: Duty scientist: Dmitry V. Melnikov, E-mail: dvm@kscnet.ru Tel.
