Mexico's Colima volcano erupts again

Mexico’s Colima Volcano has erupted again just months after an eruption there forced hundreds of people to evacuate the adjacent areas. 

According to the Civil Defense Office of the western Mexican state of Jalisco, more than 2,500 meters of gas and ash were being sent into air from the volcano, covering an area of more than a mile. 

The volcano started spitting lava and ashes in September. A month later in October, around 300 people were evacuated from the cities of La Yerbabeuna and La Becerrera owing to the hazardous eruption.

The State’s Civil Protection and Fir Department of Jalisco has announced that it would monitor the volcano for any further potential eruptions.

Colima, one of the most active and potentially most dangerous volcanoes in Central America, has been named the “Volcano of Fire.”

Since 1585, it has erupted more than 30 times. The most significant episode was recorded in 1913 which lasted four days.
