Visibility of the current activity at Shiveluch volcano was limited due to dense clouds last few days (image: Sentinel 2)
The extruded lava dome continues to evolve.
A visible glow and strong fumarolic activity suggest a continuing rise of fresh viscous magma at a very steady flow rate which has been accumulating and resulted in hot, glowing lava blocks.
Explosive eruptions continue to send ash columns to approx. 15,000 ft (4,600 m) height that drifted about 45 km to the E-SE of the volcano.
The Aviation Color Code remains at Orange.
