Pacaya is an active complex volcano in Guatemala, which first erupted approximately 23,000 years ago and has erupted at least 23 times since the Spanish conquest of Guatemala. It rises to an elevation of 2,552 metres (8,373 ft). [1] After being dormant for over 70 years, it began erupting vigorously in 1961 and has been erupting frequently ...

2024年8月3日 · Guatemala's Pacaya volcano started erupting lava and rocks Thursday afternoon, blanketing the country's capital with ash and forcing the closure of the international airport. A television reporter was killed by a shower of burning rocks when he got too close to the volcano, about 15 miles (25 kilometers) south of Guatemala City.

2013年8月18日 · The Pacaya volcano began a strong eruption last night and caused unrest in a vast zone. Long tongues of fire rose into the darkness and the light gave the impression of a huge fire. The volcano has frequently been the epicenter of strong seismic movements.

The ongoing eruption at Pacaya increased significantly in intensity in December 2020 and continued to increase through March 2021 as seen in this MIROVA log radiative power graph. Abundant ash emissions and extensive lava flows emerged from numerous fissures until activity decreased substantially in mid-May 2021.

2010年5月28日 · Pacaya volcano started erupting lava and rocks on May 27th, blanketing Guatemala City with ash, closing the airport, and killing one television reporter who was near the eruption.

2011年7月28日 · Pacaya is a complex volcano, consisting of an older stratovolcano, domes, flows, tephra, and the modern basaltic stratovolcano. Most of the complex has formed in the last 23,000 years. Pacaya has erupted at least 23 times since 1565. Little is known about the early historic eruptions due to the remote location of the volcano.

3 天之前 · Seismic stations recorded some weak explosion and degassing events on 18 August. Read all. INSIVUMEH reported that gas emissions rose as high as 1.1 km above Pacaya's summit and drifted as far as 1 km S and SW during 10-17 August. Two explosions produced ash plumes that drifted S on 13 August. Read all.

2024年3月1日 · We present a geophysical assessment of a heightened eruptive period that took place at Pacaya volcano between October 2020 and May 2021, leveraging access to ground deformation data from 9 SAR datasets acquired by 5 different radar satellite platforms and seismic data from 4 stations.

2024年7月24日 · INSIVUMEH reported that white-to-blue gas-and-steam emissions rose as high as 600 m above Pacaya's Mackenney crater and drifted as far as 2 km S, SW, and N during 18-25 August. Seismic stations recorded some weak explosion and degassing events on 18 August. ...
