Fuego Volcano (14°29′N, 90°53′W, 3800 m) is the southernmost vent of the north-south–trending Fuego-Acatenango volcanic complex. A basaltic-andesite stratovolcano, Fuego has had more than 60 subplinian eruptions since A.D. 1524, making it one of the most active volcanoes in the world. Since 1999, Fuego has exhibited continuous low-level activity, which alternates between periods of lava effusion with Strombolian explosions and periods of discrete explosions with no lava effusion. We analyzed explosions recorded on a broadband seismometer and infrasonic microphones in June and July 2008. The explosions were identified through a combination of visual field observations and the examination of infrasound...
