Popocatépetl volcano (Mexico): increasing activity and ash eruptions

Popocatépetl volcano's activity is increasing. On 25 Jan at 10:10 local time, an ash explosion produced a plume of 3 km height drifting NE. During the past days, strong degassing and steaming has been observed as well as periods of low-frequency tremor. At night (see webcam image), a constant glow can be seen from the summit crater, suggesting that the lava dome might have started a new phase of growth.
Authorities recommend a safety distance from the volcano of 12 km radius, and the alert level remains at "yellow".
