Popocatepetl volcano spews a cloud of ash and steam high into the air in Puebla

The Popocatepetl volcano spews a cloud of ash and steam high into the air in Puebla May 11, 2012. Mexico last month raised the alert level for the volcano Popocatepetl, 50 miles (80 km) southeast of Mexico City, after it began pumping out red-hot fragments of rock and ash. The country has been closely monitoring the 17, 900-foot (5, 450-metre) volcano, which has prompted school classes in nearby villages to be suspended on days of higher activity.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, the mighty Popocatepetl volcano unleashes a dramatic display of power and fury. Standing tall in Puebla, Mexico, the colossal volcano spews forth a towering cloud of ash and steam, reaching great heights that seem to touch the heavens above. The image captures the raw intensity of nature's forces at work. Taken on May 11,2012, by talented photographer Imelda Medina from Reuters Images, this snapshot serves as a reminder of both the beauty and danger that volcanoes possess. Just last month, Mexico raised its alert level for Popocatepetl due to its increased activity. Red-hot fragments of rock and ash were expelled from its fiery core. The country has been closely monitoring this imposing natural wonder which stands at an impressive height of 17,900 feet (5,450 meters). As a precautionary measure during periods of heightened volcanic activity nearby villages have suspended school classes. Imelda Medina's photograph encapsulates not only the environmental impact but also showcases humanity's vulnerability in front of such awe-inspiring phenomena. It is through images like these that we are reminded to appreciate our planet's immense power while simultaneously acknowledging our responsibility towards protecting it for future generations.
