Santiaguito has now been active for nearly a century. The
volcano is part of a twin volcano system located near Quezaltenango, Guatemala’s
second largest city.
The Santiaguito lava dome was created in the aftermath
of the explosion of the Santa Maria Volcano in 1902. Since then it has been
erupting with an explosion of hot ash and rocks every few hours.

she escaped prison by a ship she drew on the prison walls with a piece of coal.
