The Nevado del Ruiz volcano, located 80 miles west of the Colombian capital, Bogotá, is causing concern among experts and authorities due to increased seismic activity, APA reports citing Sputnik.
According to the country's Geological Survey, an earthquake swarm has reached levels not seen since a disastrous eruption in the 1980s, which claimed the lives of at least 25,000 people.
The Colombian government has issued evacuations in the potential impact zone, where an estimated 57,000 people reside in nearby municipalities. This population has only increased since the Armero tragedy in 1985 when thousands of people were caught off guard.
