Guatemalan and Mexican experts traveled to their nations’ border to determine whether a series of earthquakes there might trigger an eruption of the 13,388-foot Tacana volcano. More than 100 tremors and minor earthquakes have rumbled through the area, which contains a fault line, since the weekend, the Guatemalan Seismological Institute reported. No one has been injured. Tacana has not had major activity for 10 years; in 1976, an earthquake series that activated the fault line killed more than 20,000.
