SVERT reported that on 29 June and 1 July brief ash emissions from Sarychev Peak rose to 3 km (10,000 ft) a.s.l. A weak thermal anomaly identified in satellite data persisted through 12 July; SVERT lowered the Alert Level to Green (the lowest level on a four-color scale). Read allDo, 1. Jul 2021, 12:00

The Tokyo VAAC and SVERT reported that during 30 June-1 July ash plumes from Sarychev Peak rose to 3-5.5 km (10,000-18,000 ft) a.s.l. and drifted W, SE, and E based on satellite images. Plumes drifted as far as 25 km E on 1 July. Read allDi, 29. Jun 2021, 18:00

SVERT reported that thermal anomalies over Sarychev Peak were identified in satellite images on 12, 23, 25, and 29 June. At 0020 on 30 June an ash plume was visible in satellite data rising 3 km (10,000 ft) a.s.l. and drifting 30 km WNW. Read allMi, 17. Feb 2021, 06:00
SVERT noted that thermal anomalies over Sarychev Peak were identified in satellite images during 9-10 and 12-14 February. KVERT reported on 19 February that the effusive eruption was over, though lava continued to advance in the summit crater and a thermal anomaly remained visible. KVERT lowered the Aviation Color Code to Green (the lowest level on a four-color scale). Read allMi, 10. Feb 2021, 06:00
KVERT reported that a thermal anomaly over Sarychev Peak was identified in satellite images during 5-12 February. The Aviation Color Code remained at Yellow (the second lowest level on a four-color scale). Read allMehr anzeigen

KVERT reported that the eruption at Sarychev Peak continued during 29 January-5 February, characterized by lava effusion from the crater onto the N flank. A thermal anomaly was identified in satellite images on 29 January and 1 February; weather clouds prevented observations on the other days. The Aviation Color Code remained at Yellow (the second lowest level on a four-color scale). Read allMi, 27. Jan 2021, 06:00
KVERT reported that the eruption at Sarychev Peak continued during 22-29 January, characterized by lava effusion from the crater onto the N flank. A daily thermal anomaly was identified in satellite images. The Aviation Color Code remained at Yellow (the second lowest level on a four-color scale). Read allDo, 21. Jan 2021, 07:36
Increasing trend of the volcano continues over the past ten days as elevated surface temperature was detected on 10 January likely caused by new batch of magma rising inside the volcano's conduits towards the crater. Read allMi, 20. Jan 2021, 06:00
KVERT reported that lava began to effuse from a vent in Sarychev Peak's summit crater 10 January, and by 20 January it had traveled about 400 m down the N flank. A gas-and-steam plume drifted 36 km NE on 12 January. A thermal anomaly was visible during 15 and 18-21 January. Read allMi, 13. Jan 2021, 06:00
KVERT reported that a thermal anomaly over Sarychev Peak was identified during 7-10 and 12-13 January. A gas-and-steam plume drifted 40 km NE on 12 January. The Aviation Color Code was raised to Yellow (the second lowest level on a four-color scale) on 10 January. Read allMo, 11. Jan 2021, 10:56
