On August 15, 1999, a new outbreak cycle of Shiveluch began. An eruption occurred on 28 October 2010 at the same time with an eruption of 80 km in a straight line southwest to Klyuchevskaya Sopka. A new outbreak was observed in the form of an approximately 15 km long pyroclastic flow from the NASA Earth observation satellites Terra on January 25, 2011.
