Volcanoes


In the news today two different volcanoes have erupted, the video below shows Mexico's Popocatepetl volcano spewing ash and gas into the sky.  


Popocatépetl volcano came to life on Sunday morning, sending a column of gas and ash 2,000 metres (6,500ft) into the sky in central Mexico. A 12km (7.5-mile) security ring around the volcano has been mandated, preventing passage close to the crater. Popocatépetl’s last major eruption was in 2000, when more than 40,000 people had to be evacuated




The second eruption occurred in Alaska, I don't have a video just yet if you find one you can add it in the comments.  A link to read about what is happening is here...
