5 Apr 14 – Equador’s Tungurahua volcano entered a new vigorous eruptive phase yesterday evening, producing an eruption column rising several kilometers as well as small pyroclastic flows on the cone.
“The explosion, which likely cleared the conduit from a solid plug was followed by frequent, smaller explosions,” says volcanodiscovery.com.
“Individual stronger explosions also occurred intermittently, some of which rattled the windows and doors of the Tungurahua Volcano Observatory (OVT), located 14 Km northwest.”

“It’s interesting to note how many volcanoes in Central and South America have become active in recent months,” says H.B. “With the recent earthquakes you have to wonder if seismic shifts will push North American volcanoes back into active mode.”
