Volcán de Fuego Active Again

February 24, 2020

001 Volcán de Fuego Guatemala Enero 2020

Summary Authors: Cindy Mariela Lorenzo; Jim Foster

This photo above shows the ever-active Volcán de Fuego, in
Guatemala, erupting on January 25, 2020. I personally had never
seen this 12,346 feet (3,763 m) volcano of fire so angry as it was
this late January day. As lava streamed down its flanks, plumes of
ash rose about 3/4 mile (1.2 km) above the crater rim. A classic
stratovolcano, its major eruptions have been recorded since 1531.
The last such eruption occurred in 1974.

Every step on my long trek to see the spectacular explosions was worth
it! Once back at camp, as a reward, I treated myself to a cup of hot
chocolate.
