Kamchatkan and Kuriles Volcanic Activity
May 03, 2024, all time is UTC
SHEVELUCH VOLCANO (CAVW #300270)
56.64 N, 161.32 E; Elevation 3283 m (10768 ft), the dome elevation ~2500 m (8200 ft)
Aviation Colour Code is ORANGE
An extrusive-effusive eruption of the lava dome into the explosive crater of the Young Sheveluch continues. The growth of the new lava dome Karan-1 on the southwestern slope of the Sheveluch volcano also continues. These processes are accompanied by powerful gas-steam activity, and sometimes by an incandescence of the lava domes. Satellite data by KVERT showed thermal anomalies over the both lava domes.
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, the volcano was obscured by clouds. Satellite data by KVERT showed a thermal anomaly over the volcano.
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 and sometimes an incandescence of the lava dome is accompanied this process. Satellite data by KVERT showed a thermal anomaly over the volcano.
