A small eruption has just occurred minutes ago at Popocatepetl volcano in Mexico. I just got this picture from their webcam a few minutes before posting this news. I will update this story if there are any developments.

Update 07.29.07 12.39 GMT Since posting this story I have not seen anymore eruptions only puffs of smoke. I have posted the latest image from the volano webcam taken a few minutes ago.

good stuff:

El Popo is fascinating: apparently it steam up all the time, and is really close to Ciudad Mexico, but the visibility isn't always good enough to see it from the city due to the pollution. One of our photo contributors to this article, andreacanon, lives in Mexico City and also enjoys watching the volcano, mainly for aestheric purposes, as it's quite beautiful.
