Beschreibung
Tajumulco is Guatemala's highest peak and the highest volcano in Central America. Two summits, one with a 50-70 m wide crater, lie along a NW-SE line. A lava flow from the 4220-m-high NW summit traveled down a deep valley on the NW flank. The andesitic-dacitic volcano was constructed over the NW end of a large arcuate SW-facing escarpment of uncertain origin. Tajumulco has had several unconfirmed reports of historical eruptions. Sapper (1917) considered Tajumulco to have erupted during historical time, but without accurate dates. The volcano was reported to eject many rocks, destroying houses on October 24, 1765, but this may have been a rock avalanche. Juarros reported some eruptions before 1808, and there are unlikely reports of eruptions in 1821 (or 1822), 1863, and 1893 (Incer 1988, unpublished manuscript).---

Anmerkung:
Unsere Liste von Vulkanausbrüchen orientiert sich eng an der Datenbank des Global Volcanism Project (GVP) des Smithsonian Instituts, der international anerkanntesten globalen Datenquelle für Vulkanausbrüche. Sie schließt aber auch bedeutende Eruptionsepisoden oder damit zusammenhängende Vulkanereignisse ein. Unter "Vulkanausbrüchen" versteht man in der Regel meist Serien einzelner Eruptionsepisoden, die zeitlich aufeinander folgen oder sich (bei mehreren beteiligten Ausbruchspunkten an einem Vulkan) auch überlappen können und unter Umständen viele Jahre, Jahrzehnte oder noch länger andauern können. So ist z.B. die aktuelle Tätigkeit des Stromboli als ein einziger Ausbruch verstanden, der seit 1934 anhält.
