Volcano eruption on Fernandina Island threatens Galapagos fauna
The Cumbre volcano on Fernandina Island began erupting early Thursday sending a mile wide ash and vapor plume four miles high. Ecuador's Geophysics Institute director Hugo Yepez said the largely uninhabited island holds few rare birds and iguanas and is not a major tourist site. Galapagos National Park director Washington Tapia said no security actions are required for now, awaiting natural progression.
