Kamchatkan and Northern Kuriles Volcanic Activity
December 07, 2013, all time is UTC
SHEVELUCH VOLCANO (CAVW #1000-27-)
56.64 N, 161.32 E; Elevation 10768 ft (3283 m), the dome elevation ~8200 ft (2500 m)
Aviation Color Code is ORANGE
Eruption of the volcano continues: a new lava dome continues to extrude on the north-western part of the old lava dome, moderate ash explosions up to 13,100-16,400 ft (4-5 km) a.s.l., fumarolic activity and incandescence of the dome summit and hot avalanches accompanies this process. Satellite data showed a bright thermal anomaly over the lava dome.
KLYUCHEVSKOY VOLCANO (CAVW #1000-26-)
56.06 N, 160.64 E; Elevation 15580 ft (4750 m)
Aviation Color Code is ORANGE
Explosive eruption of the volcano continues. An amplitude of volcanic tremor was 1.0 mcm/s. Ash plumes rose up to 6 km a.s.l. and extended > 1020 km to the north-east and after that to the east of the volcano.
KARYMSKY VOLCANO (CAVW #1000-13-)
54.05 N, 159.44 E; Elevation 4874 ft (1486 m)
Aviation Color Code is ORANGE
Moderate seismic activity of the volcano continues. Strombolian and moderate Vulcanian activity of the volcano continues. Satellite data showed a bright thermal anomaly over the volcano. Ash plume extended 127 km to the east of the volcano.
BEZYMIANNY VOLCANO (CAVW #1000-25-)
55.97 N, 160.6 E; Elevation 9453 ft (2882 m)
Aviation Color Code is YELLOW
Weak seismic activity of the volcano continues. Satellite data showed the volcano was obscured by clouds.
PLOSKY TOLBACHIK VOLCANO (CAVW #1000-24-)
55.83 N, 160.39 E; Elevation 10119 ft (3085 m)
Aviation Color Code is YELLOW
Weak seismic activity of the volcano continues. Satellite data showed the volcano was obscured by clouds.
KIZIMEN VOLCANO (CAVW #1000-23-)
55.13 N, 160.32 E; Elevation 8151 ft (2485 m)
Aviation Color Code is YELLOW
Moderate seismic activity of the volcano was registered. According to video data, a weak gas-steam activity was observed.
GORELY VOLCANO (CAVW #1000-07-)
52.56 N, 158.03 E; Elevation 5996 ft (1828 m)
Aviation Color Code is YELLOW
Weak seismic activity of the volcano continues. According to video data, a weak gas-steam activity was observed.
