Volcano erupts and covers much of an island with lava

The images of the eruption of the volcano “La Cumbre” surprised the entire world and, although it is located on an island that is not inhabited by humans, its ecological value is very high because its ecosystems are home to unique species.

Land and marine iguanas live there; snakes, endemic rats, flightless cormorants and penguins, reports the Galapagos National Park published through its official Facebook account.

It was Sunday at 18:15 local time, that this volcano began its activity, registering a fissure along the southeast edge of the dome over a thousand meters high, dropping lava flows to the coasts.

There are no risks of a new eruption

Through the same digital platform, the Galapagos National Park reported that on Tuesday morning they flew over the area affected Sunday by lava and, apparently, volcanic activity has significantly decreased.

"An overflight carried out yesterday afternoon by technicians from the Directorate of the Galapagos National Park on the La Cumbre volcano, on Fernandina Island, showed that the eruption has been suspended," they wrote.

“From the air, small points of gases are observed on the lava flows already in the process of solidification. According to technicians, magma descended to about 500 meters from the crater, mostly due to past eruption flows with little presence of endemic and native colonizing vegetation, ”they confirmed.

Ombudsmen will request freezing of the Epec rate

The Ombudsmen of Villa Nueva and Río Cuarto, together with the Audit of Villa María, will ask Schiaretti for a measure similar to that of the Nation.

Due to the increases in the Energy service, the defenders of Villa María, Villa Nueva and Río Cuarto announced that they will ask Governor Juan Schiaretti to take a measure similar to that adopted by the National Government.

This was advanced to El Diario del Centro del País, Alicia Peressutti, head of the Audit of Villa María, while adding that the defenders will request the freezing of the Epec rate to the Governor by an initiative of Nicolás Morsila, from Río Cuarto.

The presentation will be made jointly by the General Audit of Villa María, together with the Ombudsman's Office of Villa Nueva and the Ombudsman's Office of Río Cuarto. "We will try to add in this request to the Ombudsman's Office of Córdoba," said Peressutti, who added that the ombusman of Río Cuarto proposed to also submit the request to the provincial Legislature as soon as the activities of the legislative body start from 1 February.

“The ombudsmen emphasize that it is a public service and that the State has to regulate them.”

The Auditor General stressed that "having no choice between one company and another, Epec has no clients but users" and that it is the State that must be responsible for the control and regulation of public services.

“People are going to cry to the defenders for the increases in EPEC, so we will make this request, because even when we have participated in the public hearings where the increases are treated, there is no way to stop them. All we can do is ask the Province to adhere to the national State and stop the increases, ”he said. At the same time, he said he will analyze whether a collective amparo action can be initiated, as was done with the natural gas service.
