[Regnum] The Popocatepetl volcano, located 70 kilometers southeast of Mexico City, the capital of Mexico, became active on March 10, spewing steam and ash nine times. This was reported by the National Center for the Prevention of Natural Disasters (CENAPRED).
“The center reports the activity of the Popocatépetl volcano over the last 24 hours: nine eruptions, 1394 minutes of high-frequency low-amplitude volcanic tremors,” CENAPRED said in a statement.
It is clarified that at the moment the safety zone around the crater is 12 kilometers, and it is unsafe to be in it. The temperature of the stones and hot fragments that the volcano throws out is about 1000 degrees Celsius. It is noted that the alarm level has been raised to the second phase of the yellow level. CENAPRED has warned tourists and climbers about the dangers of approaching the Popocatépetl crater.
The volcanic traffic light in Mexico has three alarm levels divided into phases.
Popocatepetl is one of the largest and most active volcanoes in Mexico and is one of the symbols of the Latin American country. Its name is translated from the Aztec language as “smoking mountain”; the height of the volcano above sea level is 5393 meters.
[17693.57 ft. Taller than the Rockies]
Earlier, Regnum news agency reported that Popocatepetl became active in November 2023, throwing out a column of ash and steam to a height of about six kilometers. Tourists were advised not to approach the volcano.
In the summer of 2022, on the slope of the volcano, a group of five climbers was covered by an ejection of ash and volcanic rocks, one person died.
