Santa Maria Volcano, Guatemala
A small blocky lava dome fills the crater of Caliente vent on the Santiaguito lava dome of Guatemala's Santa Maria volcano on July 18, 1969.
This was near the beginning of a period of renewed activity at the Caliente vent, on the eastern side of Santiaguito.
Growth of the composite Santiaguito lava dome has been occurring since 1922.
