Shiveluch volcano (Kamchatka): extrusive activity reduced during past days, rare small dome avalanches

According to our local friend and volcanologist Yuri Demyanchuk, the extrusive activity at the volcano appears to decrease significantly.
Nevertheless, the frequent vivid glow in the upper part of the growing lava dome continues and hints intruding viscous magma into it. Extraordinary small glowing lava blocks and debris avalanches travelled over the slopes during the past few days.
Emissions of gas, steam plumes and ash reached heights between 13,000 ft (4,000 m) and 16,000 ft (4,900 m) over the past few days detected by the Volcanic Ash Advisory Center (VAAC) Tokyo.
