A moderate Vulcanian type explosive eruption of Chikurachki volcano lasted from 28 till 31 March, 2016. Explosions sent ash up to 4 km above sea level, ash plumes drifted for about 600 km mainly to the southeast from the volcano, but also to the northeast, south and southwest from it. The largest area of the ash plume – up to 13 676 km2 – was detected on 30 March. During the eruption of Chikurachki volcano, the eruptive activity of Alaid volcano, which has been in the state of weak explosive eruption from 01 October 2015 till present, increased,. Ash plumes of Alaid volcano extended for about 60 km from 29 March till 01 April. To observe the eruptions we used mainly satellite images of medium resolution of the information system "Monitoring of volcanic activity in Kamchatka and the Kurile Islands" (VolSatView).
