KVERT WEEKLY INFORMATION RELEASE 26-2024
Kamchatkan and Kuriles Volcanic Activity
June 21, 2024, 05:36 UTC (June 21, 2024, 17:36 KST)
KVERT monitor active volcanoes of Kamchatka and the Kurile Islands. Not all of these volcanoes had eruptions in historical time, however they are potentially active and therefore are of concern to aviation.

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 Young Sheveluch volcano continues. A danger of ash explosions up to 6 km (19,700 ft) a.s.l. remains. Ongoing activity could affect low-flying aircraft. A growth of the new lava dome “300 years of RAS” on the southwestern slope of Old Sheveluch volcano continues. No powerful explosions of the dome are expected within a month. Ongoing activity could affect low-flying aircraft.
An extrusive-effusive eruption of the Young Sheveluch volcano continues. The growth of a new lava dome, called “300 years of RAS” (the Russian Academy of Sciences) (preliminary name Karan-1), continues on the southwestern slope of the Old Sheveluch volcano. The growth of the domes are accompanied by powerful gas-steam activity, and sometimes theirs incandescence at night. According to KVERT satellite data, thermal anomalies were observed in the areas of both domes all week.

KARYMSKY VOLCANO (CAVW #300130)
54.05 N, 159.44 E; Elevation 1486 m (4874 ft)
Aviation Colour Code is ORANGE
A moderate activity of the volcano continues. Ash explosions up to 10 km (32,800 ft) a.s.l. could occur at any time. Ongoing activity could affect international and low-flying aircraft.
According to KVERT satellite data, a new explosive eruption of the volcano began on June 20: at 06:50 UTC the explosions sent ash up to 6 km a.s.l., and the ash cloud moved for 540 km to the south and southeast of the volcano. A thermal anomaly was observed at the volcano on June 20.

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. Ash explosions up to 6 km (19,700 ft) a.s.l. could occur at any time. Ongoing activity could affect low-flying aircraft and airport of Severo-Kurilsk.
A moderate explosive eruption of the volcano continues. According to visual data from Severo-Kurilsk, an explosion sent ash up to 1 km a.s.l. on June 14; an ash cloud drifted to the south of the volcano. Satellite data by KVERT showed a thermal anomaly over the volcano on June 18 and 20; the volcano was quiet or obscured by clouds during other days of the week.

BEZYMIANNY VOLCANO (CAVW #300250)
55.97 N, 160.6 E; Elevation 2882 m (9453 ft)
Aviation Colour Code is YELLOW
A moderate activity of the volcano continues. Ongoing activity could affect low-flying aircraft.
A moderate activity of the volcano continues, it is accompanied by powerful gas-steam activity. Satellite data by KVERT showed a thermal anomaly over the volcano all week.

In Russia, KVERT, on behalf of the Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (IVS) FEB RAS, is responsible for providing information on volcanic activity to international air navigation services for the airspace users.
KVERT scientists are available in the office from 8:30 AM till 6:00 PM (KST) 7 days in week and by phone during the evenings since 2005. KVERT produces daily satellite monitoring (since 2002 till now) of Kamchatkan and Kuriles Volcanoes to using the information system (IS) “Remote monitoring of the activity of Kamchatka and Kuriles volcanoes (VolSatView)”, which was created in 2011-2014 the joint efforts of the scientists of KVERT IVS FEB RAS, the Space Research Institute RAS, the Computing Center FEB RAS and the Far Eastern Scientific Center Planet. IS continues to evolve. KVERT analyses information from remote scientific observation stations and seismic data for volcanoes: Alaid, Avachinsky, Bezymianny, Gorely, Karymsky, Kizimen, Klyuchevskoy, Koryaksky, Mutnovsky, Plosky Tolbachik, Sheveluch, Ushkovsky, Zhupanovsky (from the Kamchatkan Branch of Geophysical Survey RAS); and other information to monitor activity at Kamchatkan and Kuriles Volcanoes.
