	Popocatepetl, Mexico (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The name Popocatepetl, meaning "Smoking Mountain", was given to the volcano by the Aztecs, and suggests that the volcano has long been active.
		Popo, as it is often called, is built on an older volcano which adds 12,464 ft (3800 m) to Popocatepetl's elevation.
		Popocatepetl has an almost perfect conical shape up to an elevation of 16,400 ft (5000 m), where the cone becomes more irregular.

	Mesoweb Reports
		Popocatepetl shot out red-hot rock and a 1.5-mile tower of ash almost exactly a year after its most violent eruption in a millennium.
		According to the Center, the eruption was caused by the collapse of Popocatepetl's lava dome.
		Ten days later, it was announced that the volcano had entered a phase of "relative calm", and the last of the evacuees were permitted to return to their homes.

	Popocatepetl & the Compassionate Conservative Kingdom
		Popocatepetl, whose name means smoking mountain in the Nahuatl (Aztec) language, was an Aztec warrior who was in love with Iztaccihuatl (meaning white woman).
		As an example, the nadir under the axis at Popocatepetl rested between the legs of Aquarius, precisely as it was drawn in the Popol Vuh.
		When the moon sat on December 18, it slid down the north side of Popocatepetl as the Virgin and her star Spica, accompanied by Mars, the planet of male rational bearing, were all three swallowed by the caldera of the volcano.

	EO Newsroom: New Images - Popocatepetl and Iztaccíhuatl Volcanoes, Mexico (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		As part of the circum-Pacific “Ring of Fire,” Mexico hosts several of the world’s most continually active volcanoes, including the massive Popocatepetl (Aztec for “smoking mountain.”) This detailed, oblique astronaut photograph also depicts a neighboring volcano, Iztaccíhuatl (the “Woman in White.”) With North to the right in the scene, the view is a westward-looking perspective.
		The faint plume emanating from Popocatepetl’s 250- to 450-meter-deep summit crater attests to the significant, ever-present hazard the volcano represents to the 25 million people living in the region, including the nearby city of Amecameca, as well as the metropolitan centers of Mexico City to the northwest and Puebla to the east.
		In contrast to Popocatepetl’s well-defined symmetrical cone, Iztaccíhuatl is formed from several overlapping smaller cones that trend north-northwest to south-southeast.

	Size of Popocatepetl volcano explosions (1997–2001) from waveform inversion
		Several volcanic explosions have been recorded since April 1997 at broadband seismic stations located around the Popocatepetl volcano, Mexico.
		This magnitude is tied to the Mount Saint Helens initial explosive phase of May 18, 1980, whose magnitude is estimated as 4.6.
		Finally, we also propose an equivalent formula for rapid estimation of magnitude of future Popocatepetl explosions, which requires filtered amplitudes at PPIG.

	Threepenny: Weschler, Popocatepetl
		It’s been eighty years since the last major eruption of that powerfully looming volcano, forty miles north of Mexico City, and perhaps a lifetime since any of the gentle anchorfolk were required to pronounce its name.
		And hearing the gentle anchorfolk spraining their tongues in their mangled attempts at proper pronunciation, I was brought back to those endless hours in the cramped studio, relentlessly calibrating this “popo” and that “catep” and the other “etl” to the point of bleary stupefaction.
		Probably wouldn’t need to change much to bring it up to date: maybe replace “and muscular dystrophy” with “immuno-deficiency.” Anyway, “psychosomatical” could serve as a good pronunciation guide for “Popocatepetl,” in case anybody was asking.
