Air travel between Quito and Lima, Peru, was also suspended  because of ash from the volcano. Officials in Ecuador are worried about a possible repeat of events in  the summer of 2006, when weeks of volcanic activity culminated in an  eruption that destroyed three villages and killed at least seven people.   2 killed in Guatemala Guatemala's Pa*aya volcano, 50  kilometres south of Guatemala City, began erupting Thursday afternoon.  At least two people, including a television reporter, have been killed.  Dozens more have been injured by lava and falling rocks.  La Aurora International Airport in the capital was expected to remain  closed for part of Saturday because of ash covering the runways. The ash billowing from Pa*aya has been thick, falling quickly to the  ground, unlike the light ash that spewed from the Eyjafjallajokull  volcano in Iceland and swept over much of Europe, disrupting global air  travel, said Gustavo Chigna, a volcano expert with Guatemala's institute  of seismology. In Ecuador, the ash cloud drifted out over the Pacific Ocean and was  tapering off Friday evening. Sandro Vaca, an expert at Ecuador's National Geophysics Institute,  said Tungurahua's latest eruption was not in the same league as the  Icelandic activity. "The ash stretched for hundreds of kilometres, while the plume of ash  from the volcano in Iceland covered nearly all of Europe for thousands  of kilometres," Vaca said. <a href="http://www.cbc.ca/world/story/2010/05/29/volcanos-ecuador-guatemala.html" target="_blank">CBC</a> </blockquote>
