New Delhi: On Wednesday (March 3), in the central American country of Guatemala, Pacaya volcanoes erupted. The incident has sent the locals and the authorities into a frenzy.

"One of the Central American country’s most active volcanoes, Pacaya began to expel lava at dawn, creating an immense column of smoke, video footage from the institute showed," reported Reuters.

The news agency also quoted the Guatemalan Seismology Institute issuing a warning to people to stay away from the volcano as "its volcanic activity will increase and generate new eruptions."

"Pacaya Volcano in Guatemala made eruption early morning March 3, 2021.  Beautiful and terrible the power of nature" wrote one user. "Pacaya this morning. I hiked this volcano not too long ago and wanted to do it again but...nah. I'm good for now," wrote another.
