On 14-18 June 2017, three volcanoes of the Kamchatka Northern volcanic group produced eight explosive eruptions: six Sheveluch (two powerful and four moderate eruptions), one continuous ash emissions at Klyuchevskoy and one powerful eruption of Bezymianny. The most complete information about these eruptions was obtained during the analysis of satellite data in the information system “Monitoring of Volcanoes Activity in Kamchatka and the Kuriles” (VolSatView, http://volcanoes.smislab.ru). Thanks to the data from the Himawari-8 satellite, we managed to recover all events happened in the area of the volcanoes: the onset of their explosions and ash falls in nearby villages, the size of the ash clouds, direction of their movement, etc. For example, ash clouds from these eruptions moved more than 4500 km southeast from the volcanoes. Ash deposits covered about 47800 km2 of the territory of Kamchatka. In addition, based on the Himawari-8 satellite data, the animated picture of 14-18 June 2017 explosive events was created illustrating short duration of powerful explosive eruptions and long persistence of ash clouds in the atmosphere that represent a real danger for aerial transport: http://kamchatka.volcanoes.smislab.ru/animation/sample.gif.
