Ecuador's Tungurahua Volcano Spews Ashes, Eruption Possible
Bloomberg.com: Latin America
Feb. 8 (Bloomberg) -- The Tungurahua volcano in Ecuador's central Andes spewed more ashes today and may erupt again, according to the country's geophysical institute.
``The possibility of a major blast has not declined,'' said Hugo Yepes, director of the Intituto Geofisico, in a press conference in Quito, the capital, 140 kilometers (87 miles) north of the mountain. A major blast may occur within days if tremors reach greater levels than in the past 72 hours.
