Scientists looked inside Bolivia’s zombie volcano, and the reality eased everyone’s fears

Mount Uturuncu, a Bolivian volcano, is not on the brink of a massive eruption as previously feared. New research reveals its 'zombie' behaviour stems from migrating hydrothermal fluids and gases, not an imminent magma buildup. While still active and hot, this discovery reduces immediate eruption concerns, suggesting the volcano is expelling steam rather than preparing to explode.
