COTALO, Ecuador — Ecuador’s Tungurahua volcano hurled fiery rocks Thursday and sent a column of ash and steam 1.5 miles above its crater.
Experts are warning that Tungurahua is poised for a major eruption within a matter of days or weeks. On Sunday, 1,000 villagers were evacuated from 10 hamlets on the western slopes of the volcano in central Ecuador. Tungurahua, whose name means “throat of fire” in the indigenous Quichua language, erupted in July and August 2006, causing at least four deaths.
