The eruption is the latest round of activity at the scenic volcano located just 30 miles (50 kms) south of Guatemala City.

Once A Resort, Now A DisasterThe BBC reports that flights have been diverted from the area and officials are considering evacuating people who live nearby.
"We are assessing with the National Disaster Management Centre (Conred) whether we will need to evacuate the 3,000 people who live in the villages of El Rodeo and Patrocinio," said the Pacaya National Park director, Humberto Morales.
Pacaya is one of Guatemala's most active and picturesque volcanoes. An eruption in January sent lava flowing down one side of the volcano, leading to evacuations.
