Fuego Volcano Eruption Near Antigua, Guatemala

Fuego Volcano erupts in Guatemala
The Fuego volcano, located near Antigua, Guatemala, is one of the most active volcanoes in Central America. Its frequent eruptions, like the one captured here, release ash and gas plumes high into the atmosphere. The volcano's proximity to the historic city of Antigua, a UNESCO World Heritage site, makes its activity a significant concern for residents and a subject of ongoing geological study. Fuego is part of the Pacific Ring of Fire, a horseshoe-shaped zone known for its high concentration of earthquakes and volcanic activity.
