Smoking volcano attracts crowds


This weekend hundreds gathered along the slopes of Popocatépetl, Mexico’s most famous volcano. Don Goyo, as the hill overlooking Mexico City often is called, has been puffing and steaming to such an extent that warnings about a possible eruption have been issued. Tourists have been advised to stay at least 12 kilometers from the crater, but some have erected campsites less than half that distance from the smoking hole.
