Ubinas Volcano In Peru

Yesterday, Sunday June 11th, over 400 villagers in a small Peruvian town 470 miles southeast of Lima were forced to evacuate the region due to the predicted eruption of the Ubinas volcano. High winds have taken some of the smoke, ash, and debris and moved it into the highland region of Puno. Although the volcano has yet to erupt, the increase in seismic activity has alarmed scientists enough to clear the surrounding village. To learn more, please click here.
