The Uturuncu volcano in Bolivia is showing signs of activity, often referred to as a zombie volcano. This term describes volcanoes that were once thought to be extinct but are now becoming active again. Recent seismic activity has sparked interest among scientists and volcanologists. Fortunately, there is no immediate danger to the surrounding communities.
The activity at Uturuncu is linked to a hydrothermal system, which involves the circulation of hot water and steam beneath the Earth’s surface. This indicates that while the volcano is waking up, it is not showing signs of an imminent eruption. Scientists are closely monitoring the situation to gather more data and ensure safety for local residents.
