The local observatory CENAPRED in collaboration with the Institute of Geophysics of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) and the National Guard did an overflight of the volcano to get the crater diameter measurements yesterday.
Dimensions of the inner crater confirm measurements of 390 m by 410 m with depth in the range of 160 and 200 meters.
The explosive activity continues characterized by occasional vulcanian-type eruptions and emitting water vapor and gases.
