Cotopaxi Is Alive

in

For the last couple of weeks Cotopaxi has been showing signs of activity with increase sulfur emissions and long period earthquakes -- none of which could be felt in Quito.  The increase in long period earthquakes is likely due to internal fluid (magma) movements.  

Will she erupt?  Probably not but you never know.  In the picture below you could see steam clouds coming off the mountain.

Volcan Cayambe.  This one is nice and quiet.

Been trying to capture a picture to show just how close Volcan Cotopaxi is to Quito.  I think this one finally captures it.
