In Sheveluch / Kamchatka, extrusive activity continues.

After a pyroclastic flow observed on 0401.2019, avalanches of blocks are distributed in trident from the active vent, surmounted by a plume of gas and steam, more or less loaded with ashes.

The ash covers part of the summit and disperses this january 7 to a southwestern sector.

The aviation code remains orange.

In Ecuador, the level of activity of the Reventador remains high.

During the night and the morning of january 6, various episodes of incandescent emissions are observed, accompanied by falls of blocks on all the flanks of the volcano, descending to 1,000 meters under the crater.

Emissions of steam, gas and ash are reported, sometimes reaching more than 1,000 meters above the summit, in a northwesterly direction.

Seismicity, between 5 and 6 january at 11am, is characterized by LP earthquakes (61) and explosions (54); transmission tremors and harmonic are recorded.

The alert level remains orange.

In El Salvador, Chaparrastique / San Miguel continues its gas emissions in a sustained way this January 6th; the column of gas reaches some 300 meters in height, inclined to the west.

The amplitude of the seismic signal, during the last hours, shows a tendency towards stabilization.

Degassing could be accompanied by emissions of fine material, impacting populations living west of the volcano; more intense activity may occur with a higher ash plume and ballistic projections up to 3 km from the crater.
