It’s happening in Ecuador! The eruption of the volcano Sangai eclipsed the sun!

On November 4, a powerful eruption of the Sangay volcano in Ecuador took place. From the crater came a column of smoke and ash 7 kilometers high, which literally eclipsed the sun. Pyroclastic flows were observed on the southeastern slope of the volcano. Ashfall occurred mainly in the province of Chimborazo, where the volcano is located. Ash, combined with heavy rains, could raise the level of the Upano River and cause flooding, experts warn. Sangai is an active stratovolcano in South America. Located in Ecuador, on the eastern slope of the Andes. Height above sea level 5230 meters.
