Yes, Santa Maria volcano in Guatemala was considered dormant before its significant eruption in 1902. Prior to this eruption, it had not shown any major volcanic activity for several centuries. The 1902 eruption was one of the largest in the 20th century, leading to widespread ashfall and changes in the landscape. Its awakening surprised many, as it had been relatively inactive for a long period.
