Great picture of Fuego

 

Even though the eruption in the Canary Islands has attracted much of the world's geological attention, there are other volcanoes erupting, some of them mostly all the time.  One of them is Fuego in Guatemala, which is constantly puffing ash clouds (a style which I think is Vulcanian).  Fuego is also called Chi Q'aq', and both names basically end up meaning "fire mountain".

It fits, as this remarkable picture shows.


If you want to watch, Fuego has its own dedicated Webcam

Fuego can be more violent, and deadly, as it was in June 2018.
