ven., 31 mai 2013, 17:04 17:04 PM |

Seismic signal last night / this morning from Pacaya (PCG station, INSIVUMEH)
Pacaya (Guatemala): As the seismic signal suggested, a strong increase in activity occurred yesterday evening and culminated in the effusion of a lava flow from the Mackenney crater which lasted about 2 hours.
The activity returned back to mild strombolian activity afterwards, with projections reaching about 200 m height and ash plumes rising to 400 m above the crater.
