According to Wikipedia the volcano has only erupted 4 times, but that is because it has actually been erupting since 1934! Why this year it decided to be different, who knows!
Sangay (also known as Macas, Sanagay, or Sangai)[7] is an active stratovolcano in central Ecuador. It is the most active volcano. It exhibits mostly strombolian activity. Geologically, Sangay marks the southern boundary of the Northern Volcanic Zone, and its position straddling two major pieces of crust accounts for its high level of activity.
The photos of ash fall are just west of the volcano, some ash in Guayaquil, up here in Manabi we had none. The next closest volcano is in Peru, some 900 miles south. You just never know what's going to happen this year. Go home 2020...we've had enough! But stay tuned...the adventure continues.
