Fuego, one of Central America's most active volcanoes, is one of three large stratovolcanoes overlooking Guatemala's former capital, Antigua. It typically has strombolian activity and sometimes phases of intense lava fountaining, producing tall ash plumes and dangerous pyroclastic flows.

Sat, 5 Jan 2019, 08:55  Glowing avalanches at Fuego volcano this morning (image: INSIVUMEH webcam) The volcano's activity has again been increasing over the past days and looks as if heading again towards one of its frequent paroxysms (phases of strongly increased lava emission, usually as fountains and lava flows from the summit crater). ...moreINSIVUMEH reported yesterday that weak to moderate strombolian explosions were occurring at rates of 8-14 per hour, ejecting ash plumes that rose up to approx. 1 km high and drifted 10-15 km in various directions before dissipating. A strong, constant glow is visible at the crater during night, suggesting that a lava flow is about to form. Avalanches of glowing material descend on the slopes of the crater, most pronounced in the SW and SE corridors (Seca, Ceniza, Trinidad and Las Lajas canyons).

We show a series of images of a spectacular explosion captured from close range by boat.  Volcano Special Tours: We organize tours to particularly active volcanoes and during ongoing eruptions for extended observation time from various viewpoints. These trips, exclusively for very small groups, are often announced only at short notice and require fast travel and flexibility. Each trip is accompanied by a volcanologist from our team. Examples include: Kilauea (Hawai'i), Colima (Mexico), Krakatau and many others. |
