Fuego volcano (Guatemala) activity update: weak explosions, lava flowsSaturday Aug 25, 2012 12:05 PM | BY: T
A weak steam and gas plume is rising from the crater steadily to 200 meters height and moving west. Weak explosions were observed, generating gray columns up to 400 m high, and drifting about 10 km to the west and northwest. At night it was observed that the explosions had incandescent materials ejected up to 100 m above the crater. The explosions were accompanied by rumbling and degassing sounds like locomotive machines at intervals of 3-6 minutes. The lava flow toward Taniluya canyon reaches 200 meters in length, incandescent blocks detach from its front and roll down to reach the vegetation.
