Extinct Sotará volcano: an eruption first in recorded history
nprotocol/According
to INGEOMINAS, the Observatorio Vulcanológico and Sismológico de
Popayán reported that during 8-14 August seismic activity at Sotará
increased. The seismic network recorded 110 magnitude 0.2-1.6 events
mainly located in an area 0.1-5 km NE of the peak, at depths of 2-6 km.
Inflation was detected in the NE area, coincident with the zone of
increased seismicity. Web-camera views showed no morphological changes.
The Alert Level was raised to III (Yellow; “changes in the behavior of
volcanic activity”), or the second lowest level. (Smithsonian
