AfarTV's Cam B: Popocatépetl Volcano erupts with glowing lava visible inside and above the crater, as incandescent material is thrown into the night sky over one of Mexico’s most active volcanoes.
This video captures a dramatic moment at Popocatépetl, when molten material can be seen erupting directly from the summit crater and falling back onto the upper slopes.
According to Mexico’s official volcano monitoring agency, CENAPRED, Popocatépetl is currently at Volcanic Alert Traffic Light Yellow Phase 2, a status that means the volcano can produce explosive activity, ash emissions, incandescent fragments, and short-range ballistic ejecta. CENAPRED also warns people not to approach the volcano or especially the crater because explosions can occur and fragments may be thrown from the summit.
In its April 28, 2026 monitoring update, CENAPRED reported 202 low-intensity exhalations and 42 minutes of harmonic tremor in the previous 24 hours.
Popocatépetl, often called “El Popo,” remains one of the most closely watched volcanoes in North America because of its persistent activity and its proximity to heavily populated areas in central Mexico. CENAPRED continues to advise the public to stay away from the crater and to avoid ravines because volcanic debris and lahars can travel through them.
