Hypnotising footage from a plane has captured the eruption of the Popocatépetl volcano that began on Monday in the states of Puebla and Morelos in central Mexico.
A Twitter user named Oscar Trinidad Doce posted the video of this spectacular phenomenon while aboard his flight from Veracruz. The footage captured the volcano drowned in clouds against a magnificent background spewing plumes of smoke into the sky.
Meanwhile, Mexico's civil protection authorities also posted a dramatic clip showing the volcano exploding.
