The Popocatepetl volcanic explosion caused tremendous destruction in Mexico. Many hundreds of people lost their lives and the effect on the environment was also devastating. Animals and plants were badly affected and the area had to be evacuated immediately. The last major eruptive period at Popocatepetl ran from 1996-2003, producing VEI 3 eruptions, but the volcano has been producing smaller eruptions since January 2005. The volcano produces a mixed bag of activity, with ash fall, lava flows, pyroclastic flows and lahar generation and might be one of the more hazardous volcanoes in the Americas.
