Shiveluch is producing pyroclastic flows (avalanches of gas, ash and magma debris) with temperatures reaching about 800 degrees Celsius, and 100km ash plumes, the researcher said.
Seismic control of the volcano is currently impossible because a 20km lava flow destroyed the Shiveluch seismological station in February.
Shiveluch (3,283 meters), one of Kamchatka's 28 active volcanoes, poses no threat to people but ash clouds and plumes may present difficulties to vessels and aircraft.
