Pacaya Eruption, Guatemala. 17th March 1992

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. Pacaya rises to an elevation of 2,552 metres (8,373 ft). After being dormant for a century, it erupted violently in 1965 and has been erupting continuously since then. Much of its activity is Strombolian, but occasional Plinian eruptions also occur, sometimes showering the nearby city of Antigua with ash.

Pacaya is a popular tourist attraction. Pacaya lies 30 kilometres (19 mi) southwest of Guatemala City and close to Antigua. The volcano sits inside the Escuintla Department.

Wow! I was in Guatemala City last year, this volcano erupted but this time the sand got to the main city, it was somehow beautiful and annoying, the whole main city covered in sand, fucking the car windshields, although it was raining too, so it didn't screw them much. The lava destroy some towns nearby.
