Volcano Eruption in Guatemala

The Santiaguito volcano in Guatemala has awakened, emitting a column of ash several kilometers high. So far, volcanologists do not anticipate any unusual consequences from the current eruption. A volcano erupted in Guatemala, which already killed more than 5 thousand people a hundred years ago: "The eruption of the Santiaguito volcano in Guatemala in 1924 killed more than five thousand people, and the volcano itself is the 'daughter' of Santa Maria Volcano." Authorities have urged residents to follow safety guidelines. In 1902, the eruption of the Santiaguito volcano resulted in the death of more than 5,000 people.
