The highest volcano in Mexico, Popocatepetl, began to wake up, releasing a column of ash about 3km high that rises into the sky.
Smoke fumes from the volcano Popocatepetl on 3/6.
Popocatepetl volcano , 5,450m high, located about 70km southeast of the capital Mexico City, has released ash 5 times since 11 am on Thursday, creating columns of dust and steam.
The Mexican National Disaster Prevention Agency said the initial volcanic ash had moved west, then returned to the east and headed for Puebla. Predictably, the ash will fall to Puebla. Mr. Jesus Morales, director of the Puebla state civil defense agency, told a local television channel that clouds ' contain a high concentration of ash but are not dangerous'.
The National Disaster Prevention Agency has encouraged people not to enter the 7km radius around the volcano.
Popocatepetl, the second highest mountain in Mexico, poses no threat to Mexico City but some small communities living near the volcano have been evacuated in recent years.
