Notice the caņada (stream channel) in the foreground and the ash flows near the summit of the Volcan de Fuego. This is a composite volcano and when it erupts it ejects an avalanche of gas, ash, and rock - pyroclastic flow. The caņada fills with this debris and lahars (volcanic mudflow). Can you believe there is a housing development and gold course right at the base of this volcano? Lots of luck! Image taken near Escuintla, Guatemala.
