The country's National Geophysics Institute says that a constant plume of gas and ash is rising about half a mile (1 kilometer) above the crater on Monday, with ash falling on nearby communities. Some of those towns are being evacuated for safety. The renewed eruption began last week and plumes on Sunday rose as high as 3 miles (5 kilometers) above the 16,479-foot (5,023-meter) crater.

RANDOMguy User ID: 12502173 United States 12/18/2012 05:15 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The Tungurahua volcano in central Ecuador spewed gas and ash Monday, prompting the government to issue an alert and the evacuation of villages near the volcano. The U.S. Embassy in Quito issued an emergency message to caution Americans about traveling near Tungurahua, which means "Throat of Fire" and is located 80 miles southeast of capital Quito. The message singled out the tourist town of Banos and areas where voluntary evacuations are under way in Cusua, Juive Grander and Chico. It stressed the need for travelers to have an evacuation plan if conditions become more dangerous. "Past eruptions have affected air travel in Ecuador," the message reads in part. "U.S. citizens planning to fly to, from, or within Ecuador should monitor news outlets and have a plan in the event of flight cancellations." Media reports say a series of explosions overnight were recorded at the volcano, which started showing signs of activity last week. Ecuador's Secretary of Risk Management on Monday raised the alert level to orange, the second-highest level. A similar embassy message was issued Aug. 21 when the volcano showed signs of seismic activity. Eruptions of Tungurahua closed airports in Guayaquil and Quito in 2010 and took at least seven lives and destroyed three villages in 2006, a media report says. In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act. |
