WATCH Mexican Popocatepetl Volcano Spew Large Plumes of Smoke Into Sky

Mexico’s Popocatépetl volcano erupted early on Monday, sending a cloud of ash, gas, and smoke over 4,000 meters high into the sky. The volcano last exploded this March.

Hypnotising footage from a plane has captured the eruption of the Popocatépetl volcano that began on Monday in the states of Puebla and Morelos in central Mexico.

A Twitter user named Oscar Trinidad Doce posted the video of this spectacular phenomenon while aboard his flight from Veracruz. The footage captured the volcano drowned in clouds against a magnificent background spewing plumes of smoke into the sky.
