Towering Colombia volcano showing new activity

Authorities in Colombia say a towering volcano is showing renewed activity and could erupt in weeks or days.

Gas and vapor has been rising periodically from the Nevado de Ruiz volcano since February and the country’s geology institute says people in some areas are reporting “strong odors of sulfur.’’

As of Friday, officials have not yet ordered any evacuations around the 17,457 foot (5,321-meter) volcano roughly 90 miles (145 kilometers) west of the country’s capital, Bogotá.
