Eruption of lava from Fuego volcano in Guatemala

On Saturday, Feugo Volcano in Guatemala began to spew ash and emit lava in the capital of Antigua. Authorities issued an "orange" alert, and restricted flights from flying within a 25-mile (40 kilometer) radius of the volcano.

The volcano entered the phase of effusive eruption, throwing lava over 1,300 feet high, and ash plumed up to 5,000 meters which continued to fall over the weekend.

The National Disasters Agency cautioned nearby villagers to move quickly, however, no evacuations were ordered.

This is the largest eruption of the Fuego Volcano in recent times, and is part of activity that began in 2002 including intermittent explosive eruptions and lava flows.
