Popocatepetl
"El Popo" is located about 70 km (43 mi) southeast from Mexico City and according to paleomagnetic studies this volcano is about 730,000 years old. Elevation is 5,450 m (17,880 ft) in cone form with a diameter of 25 km (16 mi).
Popocatépetl is currently active after being dormant for about half of last century. In 1991 the volcano's activity increased and since 1993 smoke can be seen constantly emanating from the crater therefore escalation has been suspended..lucky me..I climbed it a few years before that..an awesome experience.
The two images here were taken last week from the airplane.
