Sheveluch Volcano. Monitoring
Aviation Color Code:
ORANGE 
Current State: The extrusive-effusive eruption of the volcano continues: a lava is extruded out in the explosive crater of the Young Sheveluch, it is accompanied by powerful gas-steam activity, and sometimes an incandescence of the lava dome. Satellite data by KVERT showed a thermal anomaly over the volcano all week. On April 26, 2024, a new lava dome Karan-1 appeared on the earth surface on the southwestern slope of the Sheveluch volcano. The extrusive eruption continues, it is accompanied by powerful gas-steam activity and the glow of the dome at night. According to KVERT satellite data, a bright large thermal anomaly in the area of the Karan-1 dome was observed all week. 
Danger Prognosis for Aviation: An extrusive-effusive eruption of the 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. The extrude of the new lava dome Karan-1 on the southwestern slope of the Sheveluch volcano continues. No power explosions of the dome are expected within a month. Ongoing activity could affect low-flying aircraft.
