Chilling footage showing the violent eruption emerged online amid fears there could be more.

A huge plume of smoke blasted three kilometres in to the air from the summit of Popocatepetl after a series explosions over the course of 24 hours.

Surrounding towns were blanketed with ash and debris and authorities are now warning a bigger eruption could threaten the 23.6million inhabitants in the Mexican capital, located just 35 miles (56km) away.

A seven-mile safety cordon has been set up and officials have set the alert level to “Yellow Phase Two”, meaning further eruptions of a “low to intermediate level” are expected.

4. Mt. Popo, only the MOST ACTIVE VOLCANO IN MEXICO !

Not exactly earth-shaking news, except maybe literally.

From the excited headline, I thought maybe there was another Paricutin a-borning.

5. First time to hear about scoria cone volcanoes. Thank you for this info. Amazing.

What a shock for the landowner, who became the proud owner of his own volcano.

6. He seems to have handled it well ...

Before leaving his home for the final time Pulido put a sign on his land. It read "This volcano is owned and operated by Dionisio Pulido." Paricutin might have taken his cornfield, but the farmer still retained his sense of humor.
