The article deals with infrared (IR) aerial surveying as a new, effective method of studying volcanic foci. Basic merit of IR aerial surveying lies in the possibility of obtaining a true instantaneous picture of the heat chart of a volcanic focus. Results from IR aerial surveys of several Kamchatka volcanoes are presented. (Author) Edited trans. of Sovetskaya Geologiya (USSR) v12 n5 p139-147 1969, by L. Thompson.
