The unit itself reported that at 21:40 pm yesterday, and after four hours prior to presence of volcanic seismic events, there was an explosive event of low magnitude (similar to what occurred on January 6, 2013), which led to the expulsion of hot material to the west of the volcano.

"The explosion last night in conjunction with the event recorded on 6 January, destroyed much of the existing dome in the volcano's summit since 2007, forming a new crater measuring approximately 220 meters in diameter and average depth 50 meters, "he said.

According to analysis by the Scientific Committee Jalisco-Colima, it is estimated that, overall, both events drove approximately 1.5 million cubic meters of volcanic material that was part of this dome destroyed, "he said.

He added that overflight conducted by scientists of Jalisco and Colima helicopter aboard the "Phoenix" Civil Protection and Fire Jalisco, was observed in the central part of the new crater lava body representing a new outpouring of magma.

According to the information provided by the thermal camera used during the flight, having a temperature below 200 degrees Celsius, causing effusion indicate a low rate (volume and magma output speed), which coincides with the position of observation low outgassing (fumaroles practically nonexistent) in general.

He said the evening event on 10 January generated a column of ash that the effect of the winds (in this season are predominant direction from southwest to northeast), traveled to Ciudad Guzman, depositing a thin layer of volcanic ash surface without risks to health.
