Fuego volcano (Guatemala): increasing activityThursday Sep 27, 2012 10:47 AM | BY: T
The volcano continues to increase its activity slowly. Incandescent strombolian pulses were seen at night throwing bombs to 100-150 meters above the crater and some of the material generated weak to modest avalanches when falling back. Rumbling and degassing sounds were noted at intervals of 1-6 minutes. INSIVUMEH reported 18 explosions in the last 24 hours, i.e. about twice as many as during the previous day. 13 of them are described as weak and 5 moderate, generating ash plumes rising up to 900 m and drifting for 9 km to the N and NW.

Fuego continues its typical activity at moderate levels, with sporadic explosions ejecting bombs to 200 m and ash plumes up to 1 km height. Shock waves and rumblings accompany the larger explosions, and incandescent material falling back generates small avalanches of 500-800 m length on the steep upper slopes.
