Volcanos

Roundup of Global Volcanic Activity

Fuego (Guatemala): Activity at the volcano has remained at similar levels (if not decreased a bit) as during the past days. When observed during the past night and this morning, strombolian-type explosions of small to sometimes strong intensity ejected abundant incandescent bombs in all directions from the summit vents. A small lava flow is active on the upper SE flank, producing often continuous glowing rockfalls that travel up to approx. 1 km towards the Las Lajas ravine. No new pyroclastic flows were observed. Overall, activity seemed to be on a slowly decreasing trend.
