The explosive eruption at the volcano continues at roughly regular intervals.
Surveillance cameras of San Salvador's Ministerio de Medio Ambiente observed ash eruptions from the summit crater. The heights of grey ash plumes are unknown as they weren't reported by the VAAC nor the volcano observatory, but from the attached video from 27 May, they seem to rise several hundred meters above the vent.

1. And "Popo" is getting into the act.

2. Wow! It sure is! The summit is covered by a thick layer of ash.

The smoke is really billowing.

I don't think I've seen two going like blazes at the same time. So much power in each one.

This is spooky!

The article says Popo is a "composite" volcano or "stratovolcano." Yikes.

Thanks for posting this.
