Abstract
Mutnovsky volcano’s thermal output (≈1122 MWt with temperatures above 600oC) (B.G. Polyak, 1985, is exceptional for a volcano in repose, and suggests robust magma convection within Mutnovsky’s conduit. In summer 2007 helicopter’s infra-red (IR) survey was done, thermal surface distribution of the Mutnovsky crater floor and adjacent geothermal field areas were obtained, and thermal heat output of the Mutnovsky volcano currently re-estimated as ≈825 MWt.
