Kamchatkan and Kuriles Volcanic Activity
July 25, 2024, 23:23 UTC (July 26, 2024, 11:23 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 week. Ongoing activity could affect low-flying aircraft.
An extrusive-effusive eruption of the Young Sheveluch volcano continues: a lava is extruded out in the explosive crater. 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. According to KVERT satellite data, thermal anomalies were observed in the areas of both domes all week.

BEZYMIANNY VOLCANO (CAVW #300250)
55.97 N, 160.6 E; Elevation 2882 m (9453 ft)
Aviation Colour Code is ORANGE
The effusive eruption of the volcano continues. Ongoing activity could affect low-flying aircraft.
Since July 22, collapses of hot avalanches were observed from the dome. According to KVERT satellite data, the explosive eruption of the volcano began at 15:10 UTC on 24 July, with ash being carried up to 12 km a.s.l. and pyroclastic flow deposits being formed. The ash plume extended for 2,500 km to the southeast of the volcano, but part of the ash cloud, 362 km long and 60 to 125 km wide, continues to remain over Kamchatka to this time. After the explosive eruption, an effusive eruption of the volcano began (viscous lava is extruding onto the dome slopes), which accompanied by hot avalanches and powerful gas-steam activity; a bright thermal anomaly over the volcano is noting on satellite images.

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.
A moderate activity of the volcano continues. Satellite data by KVERT showed a thermal anomaly over the volcano on 19, 21-23, and 25 July; the volcano was obscured by clouds in the other days of the week.

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, explosions sent ash up to 3.5 km a.s.l. on 19-20 July; ash clouds drifted to the east, southeast, and northwest of the volcano. Satellite data by KVERT showed a thermal anomaly over the volcano on 19-20 July; the volcano was quiet or obscured by clouds in the other days of the 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.

ЗЕЛЕНЫЙ Вулкан находится в нормальном – неэруптивном состоянии. или, после того, как перешел от более высокого уровня активности: Вулканическая активность считается прекратившейся, или вулкан вернулся к нормальному – неэруптивному состоянию. |
ЖЕЛТЫЙ Вулкан проявляет признаки повышения активности выше известного уровня фона. или, после того, как перешел от более высокого уровня активности: Вулканическая активность значительно снизилась, но тщательный мониторинг продолжается, потому что возможно возобновление ее роста. |
ОРАНЖЕВЫЙ Вулкан проявляет повышенную активность с высокой вероятностью извержения. или,
Извержение вулкана идет с отсутствием или незначительным выбросом пепла. |
КРАСНЫЙ Извержение, по прогнозам неизбежно со значительным выбросом пепла в атмосферу. или,
