Tungurahua Volcano continues throwing incandescent material

On Monday night, was seen in the volcano Tungurahua output of incandescent material.

According to the Geophysical Institute at the observatory of Guadalupe, the Tungurahua volcano, in the last hours, has presented strombolian activity, due to the strong expulsion of incandescent rocks.
