The crater of Sabancaya volcano on 21 May 2013 (IGP)
Seismic swarm on 21 May (IGP)
Seismicity (number of quakes) during the past months (IGP)
2 major fumarolic areas are present in the N and SW sectors of the crater floor. Seismic activity is currently calm (as of 27 May), but occasional earthquake swarms still occur (such as on 21 May). Overall, a rise of volcano-tectonic quakes, likely related to new magma intrusions at depth, have been on the rise since early May.
