Mexico Volcano Spews Ash
Mexico's Colima Volcano erupted on Sunday (January 6), sending a massive plume of ash and gas over 9,843 feet (3,000 metres) into the sky. The 12,664 foot (3,860 metre) volcano is located in a sparsely populated rural area, and has been one of Mexico's most active volcanoes in recent years. Gabriel Reyes, the director of the Department of Volcanology at the University of Colima, said that the plume of gas was likely due to a chemical reaction which took place inside the volcano.
