Ubinas crater fumaroles

▲ ▼

description Ubinas crater fumaroles Overview

The Ubinas crater fumaroles are openings that discharge volcanic gases and steam within the summit crater of Ubinas, an active stratovolcano in southern Peru. Fumarolic activity is one of the observable signs used to monitor changes in the volcano's hydrothermal and magmatic systems. Several fumarole areas were identified in the crater before the eruption that began in 2006, alongside increased gas emissions and other unrest.
