In Kamchatka, the activity has been going on for weeks in Sheveluch and Karymsky, unfortunately not commented by the KVERT, while the VAAC Tokyo is issuing ash dispersion notices and the images of the Sentinel 2 satellite are showing hot spots.

In Sheveluch, hot spots mark the summit of the volcano, corresponding to the continuous growth of the dome, and the phenomenon of construction - destruction that is accompanied by sporadic emissions of ash and / or degassing.

News from Raikoke, in the Kuril archipelago, after the 22 June 2019 eruption by Chris Burkard:

On July 13, her team arrived in front of an island completely changed: completely green and lined with cliffs before the explosive eruption, it became ash-colored, with zones of beaches, from where steam escapes from the layer of ashes and burns the sole of the shoes.

Numerous pelagic birds are found on these beaches, and the colony of sea lions destroyed, leaving only a few stubborn males.
