Fuego Volcano Eruption, Guatemala

The Fuego Volcano, located near Antigua, Guatemala, is one of Central America's most active volcanoes. It is part of the Pacific Ring of Fire, a horseshoe-shaped zone known for its frequent seismic and volcanic activity. Fuego is a stratovolcano, characterized by its steep conical shape, and has been in a state of near-constant eruption since at least 1542. These eruptions, often characterized by ash plumes and lava flows, pose a significant hazard to nearby communities but also contribute to the region's fertile soil.
