An Introduction to Nevado Del Ruiz-

Nevado Del Ruiz (also known as La Mesa de Herveo), located in Central Columbia, is a broad, glacier covered volcano. It covers more than 200 meters of land. The eruptions of this volcano usually cause lahars (mud and debris flows). During one small eruption on November 1985, it produced so much lahar it buried and destroyed a small town near this volcano.

The boundaries of Nevado Del Ruiz are marked by faults. The top of the volcano has steep slopes, and it gets more gentle at the bottom. Lava usually comes out of the central vent.

Nevado Del Ruiz is part of the Los Nevados National Natural Park, along with some other volcanoes.

Updates on Nevado Del Ruiz-

of the ash and gas emissions. Seismic activity was low Sept. 2-4. Cloud cover pretended observation; a white gas plume rose 200 m on Sept. 4 and drifted W and SW. An image showed a lot of sulfur dioxide in the air. || has decreased a lot, not causing as many earthquakes as before. INGEOMINAS decreased the alert level to III. An analysis of a satellite image shows a lot of sulfur dioxide in the atmosphere. There was a steam-and-gas plume that rose up to 400 meters and drifted west. || There was also a lot of gas/steam emissions during Jan.14-20. || A gas and ash plume rose 630 m. On April 16, there was a 3.2 magnitude earthquake near the volcano. ||
