Mexican volcano erupts in fiery timelapse video
Mexico's Popocatépetl erupted on Monday, spewing lava and ash into the air high above the towering mountain.
The fiery show was captured in a timelapse video. Authorities say the volcanic ash rose nearly two miles into the sky, and the area is still under a heightened alert for further volcanic activity.
In the light of day Tuesday morning, the still-erupting volcano struck made for a beautiful sight in the morning light.
But concerns remain for local residents in the nearby city of Puebla, home to more than 1.4 million people. The city's airport was closed following the eruption, due to decreased visibility from the imposing ash cloud.
Residents found cars and streets covered in a thick layer of fine white ash, which rained down on the city.
According to local reports, the civil service provided medical care to some affected communities, but there were no major injuries reported. Local authorities have been distributing face masks to protect people from inhaling the ash.
