Time lapes of Tungurahua "Throat of Fire" in Ecuador in 2 minutes and a 10 minute video the volcano and the local area.


QUITO, Ecuador (December 5, 2010)--The Tungurahua volcano in Ecuador was billowing ash into the sky Sunday and sending super-hot pyroclastic flows surging down its slopes, causing authorities to evacuate nearby villages. Hugo Yepez, director of Ecuadorapos;s Geophysical Institute, said no one has been injured and no damages have been reported. He said people within 8 miles of the volcanoapos;s center were evacuated Saturday as a precaution. An eruption of ash from Tungurahua last May caused a one-day shutdown of the international airport at Ecuadorapos;s largest city, Guayaquil. Thousands of people near the volcano also were evacuated. The volcano is 95 miles southeast of Quito, the country’s capital. In 2006, an eruption buried entire villages and killed at least four people.
