KVERT Information Releases
Information of Kamchatkan Volcanic Eruption Response Team (KVERT)
 (1) KVERT VOLCANIC ACTIVITY NOTICE (VAN)
 (2) Issued:20260712/0158Z
 (3) Volcano:Krasheninnikov (CAVW #300190)
 (4) Current aviation colour code:YELLOW
 (5) Previous aviation colour code:yellow
 (6) Source:KVERT
 (7) Notice Number:2026-72
 (8) Volcano Location:N 54 deg 36 min E 160 deg 16 min
 (9) Area:Kamchatka, Russia
(10) Summit Elevation:1856 m (6087.68 ft)
(11) Volcanic Activity Summary:The effusive eruption of the volcano continues: lava flows are effusing to the eastern slope of the Northern Cone of the volcano, and a gas-steam emission from this Cone is observing. Satellite data by KVERT showed a large thermal anomaly on the volcano all week. A plume of resuspended ash on 11-12 July extended 60 km to the south-southeast of the volcano. A height of a plume is unknown. The effusive eruption of the volcano continues. The danger of ash explosions up to 6 km (19,700 ft) a.s.l. remains. Ongoing activity could affect low-flying aircraft.
(12) Volcanic cloud height:NO ASH CLOUD PRODUCED
(13) Other volcanic cloud information:NO ASH CLOUD PRODUCED
(14) Remarks:
 The first historical eruption of the volcano began on 02 August, 2025. The effusive eruption of the volcano continues. The previous effusive eruption of the volcano occurred 400-600 years ago.

Aviation Color Codes

GREEN

Volcano is in normal, non-eruptive state

   or, after a change from a higher level: 

Volcanic activity considered to have ceased, and volcano reverted to its normal, non-eruptive state.

YELLOW

Volcano is experiencing signs of elevated unrest above known background levels. 

   or, after a change from higher level: 

Volcanic activity has decreased significantly but continues to be closely monitored for possible renewed increase.

ORANGE

Volcano is exhibiting heightened unrest with increased likelihood of eruption.

   or,

Volcanic eruption is underway with no or minor ash emission.
[specify ash-plume height if possible]

RED

Eruption is forecast to be imminent with significant emission of ash into the atmosphere likely.

  or,

Eruption is underway with significant emission of ash into the atmosphere.
[specify ash-plume height if possible]
