Shiveluch (Kamchatka): The volcano's activity has been comparably low recently, but continues as viscous lava rises and accumulates at the active lava dome. A small collapse occurred yesterday evening, triggering a pyroclastic flow on the SW flank of the dome and producing an ash plume that rose to approx. 3.5 km above sea level.
KVERT warns that "ash explosions up to 32,800 ft (10 km) a.s.l. could occur at any time. Ongoing activity could affect international and low-flying aircraft."
Manam (Papua New Guinea): Darwin VAAC reported a small ash plume visible on satellite imagery extending 10 nautical miles west from the small island this morning.
A moderate thermal anomaly from the volcano has been present, and become stronger during June-July, during the past months as well. This suggests that mild eruptive activity, perhaps the slow growth of a lava dome at the summit, with sporadic explosions continues.
Pavlof (Alaska Peninsula, USA): The Alaska Volcano Observatory reported minor ash emissions from the volcano yesterday from around 13:00 local time, producing small plumes of a few 100 meters and and extending a few miles to the SW.
Emissions declined in the evening and no particular seismic activity was recorded associated with the activity.
Aviation color code is Yellow. "A return to more robust eruptive activity remains possible and could occur with little or no warning", AVO wrote in its statement.
