 Column emission of the Tungurahua volcano ash observed on the morning of April 17, 2012
At 06:19 (local time) today, April 17, 2012, there was a further increase in the activity of the Tungurahua volcano, the Instituto Geofísico (IG) reported. ...mehrA constant seismic tremor signal of high energy accompanied the generation of a steam and ash eruption column which reached a height of 5 km above the crater during a few minutes. The ash cloud drifted to the north and then to the north-west. No significant noises or roars were heard. Ash fell in the areas of Baños de Agua Santa, Runtún and Juive. At the Tungurahua Volcano Observatory, located 14 km north west of the volcano, only slight ash fall was recorded. [ less] [ alles lesen]

During an overflight on 13 April, an explosion from Sangay volcano was observed at 08:25 local time. It generated an ash and steam column of 2 km above the summit crater. ...mehrA new vent was detected, both on visible and thermal images, located next to the active dome on the SE flank (Ñuñurqu). The activity in this area has intensified since October, when the last aerial survey had taken place. Extensive lava flows are descending on the SE flank of the dome and reaching the base of the cone. [ less] [ alles lesen]

During an overflight on 13 April, geologists from IG observed weak but continuous steaming from Tungurahua volcano. ...mehrThe crater geometry, nearly circular and 214 m in diameter, had not changed significantly since October 2011. Fumaroles were active at the E and W rim. Thermal measurements indicated a maximum temperature of 171°C in the crater, 20°C more than in October 2011. A thermal anomaly was observed at the eastern outer rim of the crater. Near the rim of the inner crater, a 10-15 m large block with temperature of 147°C was observed, as well as other large blocks with temperatures of up to 173°C were found nearby. These blocks were probably ejected during the recent explosions. [ less] [ alles lesen]

 Column of the Tungurahua volcano emission observed after the explosion at 08:56 (local time) of April 11, 2012
A moderately large explosion occurred at Tungurahua volcano today at 08:56 (local time). The eruption generated an ash column of 4-5 km height above the crater. The ash at lower altitudes drifted north-east, east and south-east the lower column, and ash from the upper parts of the eruption column to the north-west. ...mehrThe explosion ejected incandescent blocks to distances up to 500 to 600 meters below the crater rim on the northeast side. Seismically the explosion was followed by a signal of high-energy tremor that lasted about 40 minutes. The explosion was heard in villages near the volcano and at the volcano Tungurahua Observatory (OVT), located 14 km north-west of the volcano. [ less] [ alles lesen]

Tungurahua volcano's activity has been increasing, Ecuador's Instituto Geofísico reports. Throughout the morning of March 26, a constant column of steam and ash was rising from the summit crater, reaching up to 3 km height and drifting towards the northeast, where ash fall occurred. Ash fall was significant in the San Francisco and Black River areas, and mild in Baños, the Ventanas en Runtún, Juive, Pondoa, Puntzán and Cusúa sectors. ...mehrOccasional roaring explosion sounds were heard from small to moderate explosive events. Seismic activity remains characterized by volcanic tremor episodes lasting several minutes, interspersed with tremor bursts and long-period events, which are related to fluid movements within the volcano.

Another series of explosions has occurred early today at Tungurahua volcano in Ecuador, the Instituto Geofísico (IG) reports. The eruption was reported to be very noisy and caused minor ash fall in nearby villages, but no damage. ...mehrFrom 23:39 (local time) on March 19, a rapid increase of tremor was detected and observers reported roaring noises from the volcano in up to 14 km distance. About an hour after the onset of tremor reports of ash fall came from El Manzano and Choglontús. At 00h22 today, there was an loud explosion whose cannon-shot like shock wave was heard in Choglontús, El Manzano and Puntzán. Incandescent lava bombs could be seen ejected from the summit crater and landing up to approx. 200 m distance on the upper slope. [ less] [ alles lesen]
