Colima Eruption Throws Ash Cloud Over Mexican Countryside

Mexico’s Colima Volcano erupted on Sunday, January 8, the latest in a series of eruptions, which, on January 7, led to the closure of a nearby airport.

Colima’s Civil Protection Agency reported that a pyroclastic flow, of dense cloud of hot ash and gases, was expected as a result of the blast and warned of ash falls in nearby towns.
