Uturuncu, a dormant Bolivian volcano, shows signs of activity after 250,000 years. New research using seismic imaging reveals its unrest is likely due to movement of heated fluids and gases beneath the crater, rather than an impending eruption, providing valuable insights for studying other potentially active volcanoes.
