Lava Spatters From Volcán de Fuego’s Summit Crater

Volcán de Fuego rises 3,763 meters near Antigua Guatemala, among the most consistently active volcanoes in Central America. It shares a connecting ridge with neighboring Acatenango, forming a joint volcanic complex often climbed together by hikers. Fuego has been in near-continuous eruption since 1932, punctuated by major explosive events in 1974 and again in 2018. Climbers and ers commonly observe its eruptions from Acatenango's slopes, several kilometers from the active crater.
