Emitting a new lava flow on the N flank of Sarychev Peak yesterday (image: Sentinel 2) 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 more...Dmitry Melnikov from the volcanological institute KVERT reported that expected formation of lava flows occurred today as lava effusion begun in the summit crater and started to descend on the northern slope of the volcano. A new lava flow length is currently about 400 m long.

Red arrow shows a higher surface temperature at Sarychev peak yesterday. Visibility is limited due to dense clouds (image: Sentinel 2) Activity of the volcano continues at elevated levels. Read more...KVERT reported that on 10 January at 15:17 UTC KVERT a difference between thermal anomaly and background temperature was 79,8 °C identified in VolSatView satellite data likely caused by a new batch of magma that could be rising inside the volcano's conduits towards the crater. Formation of lava flows in the summit crater in the near future is a possibility if activity at the volcano increases further.

SVERT reported that an ash plume from Sarychev Peak rose to 2.7 km (9,000 ft) a.s.l. and drifted 50 km SE on 11 August, based on Tokyo VAAC notices. The Aviation Color Code was raised to Yellow.

Satellite image of Sarychev Peak volcano from 7 Nov 2017 (image: SENTINEL 2 - ESA/Copernicus, annotated by Culture Volcan) A new eruption, of mild intensity only, has been occurring at the remote volcano recently, as satellite imagery shows: Read more...Thermal signals and visible images show increased heat radiation and suggest that mild ash emissions have occurred during or since late October and early November along with the emission of a new lava flow on the volcano's northern flank. The attached satellite image from 7 Nov shows a gas plume and a thermal signal. The thermal signal has an elongated shape and corresponds to a new lava flow on the northern flank, more than 1 km long. It is unknown when exactly the new eruption started, but the earliest available satellite data with increased heat emission are from late October. [ less]

Sarychev volcano erupted violently starting 11 June 2009 until mid-end of June, producing a series of sub-plinian eruptions sending large gas and ash plumes to 10-14 km elevation, which drifted westward across the northern hemisphere. The most powerful eruptions occurred between June 11-16. No large ash explosions were noted after 16 June, but Sarychev continues to erupt and produce smaller gas and ash plumes. Read more...There is no local volcano monitoring available on Sarychev island (which likely would have been destroyed by now), and information on its activity is based on satellite and pilot observations. Extensive coverage of Sarychev's activity can be found on several websites listed below. [ less]
