El volcán Ulawun de la isla de Nueva Bretaña, en Papúa Nueva Guinea, está considerado por los expertos como uno de los más peligrosos del mundo. Entró en erupción, expulsando cenizas este miércoles y provocando la evacuación de la población de los pueblos más cercanos.
Steve Saunders, responsable del Observatorio del Volcán Rabaul, afirma que el volcán Ulawun daba señales de aumento en la actividad volcánica durante las últimas semanas. La primera erupción comenzó este miércoles a las 8:00, cuando el volcán, de 2.334 metros, empezó a arrojar cenizas a una altura de hasta 13 kilómetros.
Miles de personas viven alrededor del monte Ulawun y más de 10.000 de ellas ya han sido evacuadas por las autoridades locales debido a la peligrosa actividad sísmica.
Las autoridades de Papua Nueva Guinea ya han enviado fuerzas militares para ayudar con las evacuaciones, aunque muchos locales lo están haciendo por sus propios medios.
Los vuelos a Nueva Bretaña han sido cancelados y la Oficina de Meteorología de Australia ha opuesto una advertencia roja a las aerolíneas.
Desde diferentes organismos se esta solicitando ayuda internacional de manera urgente.
Las emisiones del volcán se estaban volviendo más oscuras, lo que indica un mayor nivel de cenizas, pudiendo causar problemas respiratorios, irritación de los ojos y de la piel debido al alto contenido de ácido, según informa El Observatorio del Volcán Rabaul.
