Shiveluch has an orange aviation hazard code. In KVERT said that the eruption of the volcano “accompanied by powerful gas vapor activity”. The ash plume extends westward from the volcano, deep into the peninsula. In the Tigil municipal district, volcanic ash may fall out.
Shiveluch volcano in height reaches 3,283 m above sea level. It is located 450 km from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. The nearest settlement - the village of Klyuchi - is located 50 km from the foot of the giant. Shiveluch is considered one of the most active volcanoes on the Kamchatka Peninsula. In late July, two villages were covered with ash due to emissions from the volcano.
