Santiaguito volcano (Guatemala) activity update: sporadic explosions, continuing lava dome growth, small lava flow on SE flank

Thursday Jan 19, 2012 01:01 AM | Age: 129 days
BY: T

The lava dome growth of Santiaguito continues at moderate levels. Sporadic explosions produce ash clouds that rise up to 600-800 m above the lava dome and mostly drift SW. A viscous lava flow is active on the SE flank. Block avalanches are generated from the front of the lava flow and on the SW flank, accompanied by rumbling noises.
