Alert level update: Planchón Peteroa Volcanic Complex is now at Yellow (was green) 🌋

Seismic activity has increased over the past few days, with more LP and tremor signals detected. Recent eruptions have been primarily phreatic, impacting areas around the summit craters.

There’ve been a few seismic swarms lately, but everything’s still within normal activity levels.
