Several sectors affected by strong eruption in Rincón de la Vieja

After a strong eruption in Rincón de la Vieja Volcano on Sunday, several sectors were affected by the sediments that fell from its crater.

The images of the RSN show mud volcanoes that were formed in the sector Las Pailas.

According to OVSICORI, the volcano was active the entire morning.

Down the rivers are falling sediments laden with ashes, particularly in Pénjamo River. The sensory chamber allows to see the red-hot blocks at the foot of the cone,”

said Javier Pacheco, a seismologist at the entity.

The population should be alert, since many eruptions occur at dawn with few premonitory signs, mud streams go down rivers and pyroclastic flows are not uncommon.

It is worth mentioning that from June 20th until the end of 2018 this volcano showed at least two to five monthly eruptions. Apparently, in January this flared with seven eruptions.
