Nevado del Ruiz erupted on November 13, 1985, due to the accumulation of magma beneath the volcano, which increased pressure and led to an explosive eruption. The eruption melted the mountain's snow and ice, causing massive lahars (volcanic mudflows) that devastated the nearby town of Armero. This tragic event resulted in significant loss of life and highlighted the dangers of volcanic activity in populated areas. The eruption was a reminder of the need for effective monitoring and disaster preparedness in volcanic regions.
