Colima, Mexico

This is a view of Colima volcano (on the left) from the southwest. Colima volcano threatens the city of Colima (out of view to the left and the capitol of the state of Colima), but it is actually just across the boarder in the state of Jalisco. The main danger to Colima city is from pyroclastic flows and giant avalanches. Lately the activity has been relatively minor and confined to the uppermost slopes. An older volcano sits to the right.
