Popocatépetl volcano (Mexico): strong explosion yesterday morning sends ash to 32,000 ft (10 km) altitude
Сб, 15 июн 2019, 07:13 07:13 AM | ПЇЅПЇЅПЇЅПЇЅПЇЅ: T  Popocatepétl's eruption yesterday morning seen from a plane (author unknown, via facebook.com/severeweatherEU)  Crater of Popo seen on 11 June (image: CENAPRED)  Number of explosions and tremor during the past 2 weeks (image: CENAPRED)
During the past days and weeks, the activity at the volcano seems to have picked up. Yesterday morning, at 10:40 local time, a comparably strong vulcanian-type explosion occurred that produced an ash column that rose approx. 5 km to 32,000 ft (9,8 km) and drifted SSW.
At least 3 other, but smaller explosions also occurred during a 24 hours interval (at 18:22 on 13 June, 04:33 and 08:54 on 14 June, local time). Overall, the daily average of explosions and exhalations (low-pressure emissions of steam and sometimes ash) has clearly increased compared to some weeks ago. However, no lava dome has yet formed in the inner summit crater.
During an overflight on 11 June, it was observed to have a similar configuration as observed in late April, about 350 m wide and intensely degassing.
A volcanotectonic earthquake was recorded on 13 June at 20:40 local time with a magnitude of 1.9 and 27 minutes of tremor.
The alert level of the volcano remains unchanged at Yellow Phase 2.

Background:Volcán Popocatépetl, whose name is the Aztec word for smoking mountain, towers to 5426 m 70 km SE of Mexico City to form North America's 2nd-highest volcano. The glacier-clad stratovolcano contains a steep-walled, 250-450 m deep crater. The generally symmetrical volcano is modified by the sharp-peaked Ventorrillo on the NW, a remnant of an earlier volcano.
At least three previous major cones were destroyed by gravitational failure during the Pleistocene, producing massive debris-avalanche deposits covering broad areas south of the volcano. The modern volcano was constructed to the south of the late-Pleistocene to Holocene El Fraile cone. Three major plinian eruptions, the most recent of which took place about 800 AD, have occurred from Popocatépetl since the mid Holocene, accompanied by pyroclastic flows and voluminous lahars that swept basins below the volcano. Frequent historical eruptions, first recorded in Aztec codices, have occurred since precolumbian time.

 Photos from Greece: We have traveled and studied extensively in Greece, in particular on its active volcanic areas such as Santorini, Nisyros, Milos, Methana.  Ijen volcano photos: Ijen volcano in East Java is famous for its turquoise acid crater lake and the large sulfur deposits that are being mined by local workers. At night, the scene is illuminated by ghostly blue flames, as sulfur ignites.  1-3 day excursions: If you're interested in volcanoes, there are a number of excursions you should not miss if you're in the area: hike to the craters of Stromboli volcano, climb Etna volcano, get to know the unique volcanic history of Santorini - some examples of shorter (1-3 days) tours and excursions we offer.  Latest quakes in Greece: Greece has a lot of earthquake activity, but most of them occur around the margin of the Aegean microplate. The Cycladic islands are located in its center and therefore seismically comparably quiet.
