Mt Spurr webcam.
Just in case it goes boom you can watch it. Until it covers the webcam.

We rarely talk about what's going on along the ring of fire. At a friend's suggestion, I'm thinking of going to Mexico to see the eruption of Popocatépetl. Looks like several volcanoes in Central America are erupting too. I'm considering investing in the Lake Chapal region. or maybe San Miguel de Allende. The US is just not what it used to be.

Please post a few pics of your trip as it sounds quite interesting, and potentially visually spectacular. But please stay safe.
