Popocatepetl Volcano Erupts With Fireball And Lava

This is the explosive moment Mexico’s Popocatepetl volcano erupts with a fireball along with a huge plume of ash and stunning images appear to show lava surrounding the crater.

The National Centre for the Prevention of Disasters has confirmed the explosion took place on 9th January, around 6.33 am at the Popocatepetl volcano, located next to Mexico City, Mexican capital, in the centre of the country.

The explosion caused the expulsion of ash content and a three-kilometre high smoke column over the crater.
