Colima
Colima is a beautiful strato volcano with a dangerous past (and possibly a
dangerous future). Not only are there the usual hazards of falling ash and
pyroclastic flows, but 4300 years ago about 10 cubic kilometers of Colima
volcano collapsed in a huge avalanche! This avalanche extended more than 70
km from the summit and covered an area that is presently inhabited by more
than 200,000 people (including beautiful Colima city). Jim Luhr, Claude
Robin, and their co-workers are among the geologists who have studied Colima
volcano and its associated hazards.
