Latest bulletin The Geological Service information system sets off the alarms, there is great concern due to the changes that it has presented in recent weeks.
“The presence of thermal anomalies in the bottom of the crater greater than those presented in previous months, associated with the output -sometimes continuous- of ash, are parameters that indicate a higher level of activity with respect to previous weeks,” they indicated.
The report also mentions that “the activity of the Nevado del Ruiz volcano continues at ORANGE LEVEL, which indicates that there is a greater probability that in days or weeks it will erupt more than it has in the last 10 years.”
In turn, they specified that in the event that there is an acceleration of the processes that suggest an imminent eruption or that the eruption itself occurs, the activity level will be changed to red.
The alert for the Nevado del Ruiz Volcano will remain at an orange level and for the moment a reasonable amount of time is required to return to a yellow alert, as reported by the National Geological Service.
