And in Ecuador the worry between the population and the authority for the eruption of the volcano is a lot. The many villages and the countries in danger, why they rise just in zones limitrofe. The population that lives to south of Quito, in Ecuador, is accustomed for a long time to cohabit with the Tungurahua volcano, than often ago to feel its powerful voice.

But the eruption in course in these days is indeed a lot worrisome: according to the experts who are studying this phenomenon, it would be be a matter of the more violent eruption of the last years. And in fact the local authorities have already begun the operations of evacuation from the zones more to risk.
