The 1595 and 1985 eruptions were similar in many respects, including in the chemical composition of the erupted material. On the morning of February 19, 1845, a large earthquake resulted in a substantial mudflow. The 1595 eruption was the last major eruption of Nevado del Ruiz before 1985. On November 14, 1985, a volcano erupts in Colombia, killing well over 20,000 people as nearby towns are buried in mud, ice and lava.
