Activity of Pacaya, Rincon de La vieja, Kuchinoerabujima and Steamboat geyser.

In Guatemala, the Pacaya has shown significant seismicity since April 27 during the night, recorded by the PCG and PCG 5 stations. It was caused by the opening of a crack on the northeast flank of the volcano , according to Insivumeh; it emanates only gases.

A lava flow extends to the southwest, and has extended for 400 meters from the MacKenney crater. Simultaneously, Strombolian explosions are accompanied by incandescent ejections a hundred meters high.

The ban on climbing for guides and tourists is recalled by the Government of Guatemala.

The Steamboat Geyser, in the Norris basin at Yellowstone N.P., erupted in water on April 27 from 4:29 p.m. to 4:39 p.m. It is the third eruption for the month of April 2020 and the twelfth manifestation in the course of this beginning of the year.

It seems that this geyser is in a phase of more frequent watery eruptions, as it had in the 60s and early 80s. But this time, because of the Covid-19, its activity did not have spectators.

These eruptions have no implications for future volcanic activity at Yellowstone, but are part of normal geyser activity, even if it is erratic.
