Karymsky volcano (Kamchatka, Russia) activity update: possible intermittent weak ash explosions
jeudi, févr. 02, 2012
KVERT signalé que l'activité sismique s'est poursuivie à un niveau modéré au Karymsky durant 19-27 janvier et a indiqué que les panaches de cendres augmenté éventuellement à une altitude de 3 km (9 840 pi) d'altitude pendant 19-21 et le 25 janvier. L'imagerie satellitaire montre une anomalie thermique au volcan pendant 21-24 janvier et gaz-vapeur plumes contenant des cendres qui ont été à la dérive jusqu'à 70 km NW le 23 janvier. Le Code couleur Aviation est resté chez Orange. [plus]
Kizimen volcano (Kamchatka, Russia) activity update: large lava flow on the E flank and accompanying hot avalanches
Shiveluch volcano (Kamchatka, Russia) activity update: growing lava dome in summit crate, occasional hot avalanches and ash explosions, plumes up to 6 km altitude
Images satellites ont montré une anomalie thermique quotidienne sur le dôme de lave. Observateurs au sol ont noté qu'une coulée de lave visqueuse a continué à effuse dans le cratère qui s'est formé lors d'une éruption de 2010. Une activité modérée fumerolles au dôme de lave et occasionnelles avalanches chaudes ont été observées durant les 25-26 janvier ; les nuages ont empêché des observations sur les autres jours de la semaine. Panaches de cendres est passé à une altitude de 5 à 6 km (16 400-19 700 pieds) d'altitude et a dérivé de 174 km NE le 23 janvier.
Karymsky volcan (Kamchatka, Russie) mise à jour d'activité: sporadiques éruptions de cendres faibles
jeudi, janv. 19, 2012
L'activité sismique est poursuivie à un niveau modéré à Karymsky pendant 6-13 janvier. Les panaches de cendres possible est passée à une altitude de 4,2 km (13 800 pieds) d'altitude l'imagerie satellitaire a montré une anomalie thermique au volcan pendant 5-11 janvier et cendres faibles plumes qui a dérivé de 40 km e et NE sur les 6, 7 et 11 janvier.
Shiveluch volcano (Kamchatka, Russia) activity update: growing lava dome with lava flow inside crater
KVERT reported that low levels of seismic activity were detected at Shiveluch during 6-13 January. Satellite imagery showed a daily thermal anomaly over the lava dome. Ground-based observers noted that a viscous lava flow continued to effuse in the crater that was formed during a 2010 eruption and hot avalanches from the lava flow were observed at night with a web camera. Moderate fumarolic activity at the lava dome was observed all week except on 10 January. [plus]
Kizimen volcano (Kamchatka, Russia) activity update: large lava flow on the E flank and accompanying hot avalanches
samedi, janv. 14, 2012
KVERT reported moderate seismic activity at Kizimen during 6-13 January and a large thermal anomaly that was detected daily in satellite images. Video and satellite observations indicated both continued effusion of a large lava flow on the E flank and accompanying hot avalanches. [plus]

Shiveluch (Sheveluch)
(stratovolcan)		 Chiveloutch est l'un de l'un des plus grand du Kamtchatka et volcans plus actifs et celle qui a eu les plus violentes éruptions. [informations]
Kliuchevskoi (Kliuchevsky, Klyuchevskaya)
(stratovolcan)		 Le volcan Klioutchevskaïa (aussi orthographié Kliuchevsky, Klioutchevskaïa) est un du monde du plus actif et de Kamtchatka du plus haut volcans.
Kliuchevsky est situé dans une région éloignée de la péninsule du Kamtchatka. Il possède un grand cratère actif avec de fréquentes é... [informations]
Bezymianny
(stratovolcan)		 Bezymianny ("unnamed") was considered extinct until it erupted violently in 1955-56, after a slumber of probably 1000 years. It is one of the most active volcanoes in Kamchatka. The eruption followed a massive flank failure (similar to Mt. St. Helens eruption in 1980) which remov... [informations]
Kizimen
(stratovolcan)		 Kizimen volcano is an isolated, conical stratovolcano located in the Shchapina graben on the SE margin of the Central Kamchatkan Valley. After almost a century of quiet, it started to become restless in 2009 and erupt in late 2010. The new ongoing eruption has been building a new... [informations]

Éruptions de cendres à partir Karymski peut venir de la manière d'itinéraires de vol des avions à travers le Pacifique N. Karymsky, le volcan le plus actif du... [informations]
Koryaksky
(stratovolcan)		 Koryaksky in the SE of the Kamchatka peninsula and near its capital Petropavlovsk is one of Kamchatka's most beautiful and prominent stratovolcanoes. [informations]
Avachinsky
(stratovolcan)		 Avachinsky imposante ci-dessus Petropavlovsk, plus grande ville du Kamtchatka, est un des volcans les plus actifs du Kamtchatka. Il éclate en général tous les deux ans à la production de décennies, souvent les flux de cendres et de lahars. [informations]
Gorely
(Stratovolcano (caldera))		 The second and active summit crater of Gorely, with a boiling and acid green lake seen from SW. (photo: Marco Fulle)Gorely volcano is one of the most active volcanoes in southern Kamchatka and located 75 km SW of Petropavlovsk. It is a complex of several overlapping stratovolcanoes with many summit and flank craters. Activity in historic times were mainly small to medium-sized ash and steam er... [informations]

Volcanoes of Kamchatka

The Kamchatka Peninsula (Russia) is one of the most volcanically active volcanic places on earth, second only perhaps to Iceland and Hawaii. In this part of the Pacific "Ring of Fire", there are over 100 active volcanoes (the Smithsonian Institution lists 109) and about 30 volcanoes that have erupted recently, in addition to hundreds of smaller monogenetic vents (i.e. that have formed during one single eruption)
The active volcanoes form a 700-km long volcanic belt from Shiveluch in the north to Kambalny in the south. The vigorous volcanism on Kamchatka, like that of the adjacent Aleutian and Kurile island arcs, is produced by the subduction of the Pacific plate under the E margin of the Eurasian plate.
During the past 10,000 years, at least about 30 very large (so-called Plinian) eruptions have occurred in Kamchatka, i.e. eruptions that have ejected more than 1 cubic kilometer of magma. With this record, Kamchatka is by far the place on earth with the greatest frequency of large explosive eruptions.
The most active volcanoes on Kamchatka are Klyuchevsky, Shiveluch, Karymsky and Bezymianny.
