Sunday, Apr 14, 2013
INSIVUMEH's latest bulletin confirms that a small lava lake is present in the Mackenney crater at a depth of 40 meters and generating mostly small strombolian explosions that eject material to the NW flank. ...more

 Current seismogram from Pacaya (PCG station, INSIVUMEH) Thursday, Mar 14, 2013
INSIVUMEH reports continuing steaming/degassing and weak ash venting. Bluish gas and seismic activity suggest that magma is near the surface.
Wednesday, Mar 13, 2013
Occasional weak gas and ash emissions have been reported by INSIVUMEH who believes that a return to magmatic, likely strombolian activity from the Mackenney crater is a probable scenario for the near future (weeks).
Tuesday, Mar 12, 2013
No new explosive activity or other surface activity except degassing / steaming has been observed over the past days.
