News from Karymsky, Ili Lewotolok, Etna and Mauna Loa.

For 3 days (July 21 to 23), a moderate activity has continued at the Karymsky.

According to Himawari-8 satellite data from KVERT, ash emission continues continuously. The explosions send ash between 1,300 and 1,600 meters above sea level, and the ash plume extends 50-100 km east-northeast of the volcano.

Ash explosions up to 6-7 km altitude could occur at any time. The current activity could affect low-flying planes, and justify the orange aviation code.

Mount Ili Lewotolok continues its activity, with on Friday July 23, 2021 at 07:26 WITA, an explosion accompanied by a plume of thick and gray ash observed at ± 800 m above the summit (± 2223 m above the level of the sea) to the west. This eruption was recorded on a seismograph with a maximum amplitude of 11 mm and a duration of 39 seconds.

However, there has been a relative decrease in seismicity for a few days.

The south-eastern crater of Etna, taking a "break" for 3 days, allowed a site visit on July 22. According to boris Behncke, " its cone has become incomprehensible and is most likely now the new summit of the volcano. A few small explosions made the investigation more ... exciting."

On Big Island / Hawaii, Mauna Loa volcano remains in a state of low unrest.

Seismicity rates at the summit remain slightly above long-term background levels, with 38 low-magnitude earthquakes (below M2.5) recorded below the summit and upper flanks over the past week. of Mauna Loa. The majority of these earthquakes occurred at shallow depths below 8 kilometers below sea level.

Monitoring of soil deformation, gas releases and visual monitoring show no significant changes.

The volcanic alert level remains at advisory, and the aviation code at Yellow.
