Sabancaya volcano sends column of ash more than two miles into the air.
Arequipa, Peru’s second-biggest city, is located a mere 43 miles from the volcano.
With a population of 860,000 people, the city is generally regarded as one of the most vulnerable cities in the world when it comes to volcano eruptions, with six – Sabancaya, El Misti, Ubinas, Huaynaputina, Ticsani and Tutupaca – all nearby.
Peru’s Institute of Geology,Minign and Extraction ranks Arequipa third in the world in measurements for vulnerability.
