Colima Volcano - June 8, 2005
Colima volcano has entered a new eruptive phase with more explosions during the past days.
On January 6, the first explosion produced an ash column of 3 km height. The second explosion occurred 4 days later on Thursday 10 January. The second blast destroyed the lava dome that had been emplaced in 2007 in the summit crater.
On Sunday January 13 the third explosion occurred, but the event was smaller than the previous two.
The eruptions expelled approximately 1.5 million cubic meters of volcanic material that was part of the old dome and left a new crater of 220 m diameter inside the 420 m wide summit crater.
