This was confirmed by the Colombian Geological Survey, which indicated that in the last week Cerro Machin volcano seismicity continued to show volcano-tectonic type, which is associated with rock fracturing within the volcanic edifice.

It features a slight increase in seismic activity on January 15 between 3:30 and 4:30 local time. These seismic events were located in the main dome and the south-east of it, at depths ranging between 2 and 12 km.

The earthquake of greatest magnitude during the week was 0.73 on the Richter scale, which corresponds to an event recorded on 15 January at 3:21 pm (Local Time). Other parameters monitored, as the volcanic deformation and geochemistry have not undergone significant changes.

The Colombian Geological Survey continues monitoring the evolution of volcanic phenomena in a timely manner and report changes that may occur.
