Seismic signal early on 7 Aug (OLL station, INGEOMINAS)
The seismic signals from Nevado del Ruiz indicate tremor, associated with gas and minor ash emissions at low level.
Additionally, there are earthquakes indicating rock fracturing, possibly caused by magma movements within the volcanic edifice north of Arenas crater. The most significant event was at 3:11 (local time) and had a magnitude of 1.2 ML located on the east and less than 1 km from the Arenas crater.
