2 Apr 14 – A volcano in southwestern Peru that has not blown its top in four decades spewed more ash skyward on Tuesday, after authorities evacuated villagers to avoid Ubinas’s wrath.



“The volcano has been emitting a lot of ash all day, the people in the town (of Ubinas) are having some problems breathing, said Ubinas’s town mayor Pascual Coaquira. They have been given masks, he added.

Peru’s geological and mining agency (Ingemmet) said lava had been building up in recent weeks, and warned locals they should prepare for the possibility of more evacuations.

In the broader Moquegua area plus Arequipa and Tacna, there are about 40 volcanoes, most dormant.
