Two stronger-than-usual eruptions occurred at the volcano over the past few hours.
Dense ash emissions rose about 26,000 ft (8,000 m) above the summit crater and drifted to the southwest of the volcano where tephra covered surfaces in the province of Chimborazo (Guamote, Cebadas and Matriz).)
Most of the ejected hot, juvenile and glowing material slid down along the southeastern flank in the form of incandescent avalanches.
Satellite-based measurements of SO2 concentrations were detected in plumes of about 495 tonnes on 21 April.
Explosions were a few times stronger than the average size of explosions at the volcano and such events are nothing unusual on the volcano and occur from time to time.
