Tungurahua Volcano, Ecuador, puts on a fiery show

Tungurahua volcano has been very active the past days, with continous ash emissions and occasional large explosions producing ash plumes up to 32,000 ft (ca. 10 km) altitude.

IG scientists on an overflight observed strombolian activity from the inner summit crater which has filled with fresh lava.

At the time of updating, tremor and seismic activity have decreased somewhat.
