   How long has Santa Maria volcano been erupting?

   • The dacitic Santiaguito lava-dome complex on the western flank of Santa Maria volcano has been growing since 1922. The youngest of the four domes in the complex, Caliente, has been actively erupting with ash explosions, lava flows, lahars, and pyroclastic eruptions for more than 40 years (figure 39).

   When did Santa Maria lava dome erupt?

   • Incandescence was observed at the crater and along lava flow margins during most nights and early mornings. INSIVUMEH reported that the eruption at Santa Maria’s Santiaguito lava dome complex continued during 27 June-4 July. Lava dome effusion generated avalanches, pyroclastic density currents (PDC) on all flanks, and fed active lava flows.
