Fuego volcano (Guatemala) activity update: lava flow on east flank, occasional weak explosions, regular hissing-noise producing degassingSunday Aug 19, 2012 11:42 AM | BY: T
Explosive activity at Fuego has been diminishing a bit; INSIVUMEH only reported 4 weak explosions during the latest 24 hour summary, which produced ash plumes rising 400 m and drifting west. Most activity is the effusion of the lava flow, now about 300 m long, to the east towards the Taniluya canyon, and frequent incandescent rockfalls from its front. Turbine-noise producing degassing events are heard at intervals of about 2 minutes.

The volcano produces occasional strombolian explosions ejecting incandescent blocks to about 100 m and producing ash plumes of 100-400 m height. The lava flow is reported to be 250 m long in the latest update from the volcano observatory.

Activity has not changed much at Fuego. 13 weak to moderate strombolian explosions with ash plumes to 200 – 400 meters height, hissing gas venting at intervals of 1-8 minutes, and a 200 m active lava flow shedding constant rock avalanches were reported in the last daily update (note that the previous day, the lava flow was said to have been 300 m long - either the figures are a bit indicative, which is normal, or the flow has decreased a lot since yesterday). The seismogram shows lots of activity as usual.
