STORYLINE:
Mexico's second highest volcano, Popocatepetl, erupted a large amount of ash early Saturday, affecting about 22 million residents of the surrounding cities.
The volcano's eruption of ash forced the temporary closure of Mexico City's Benito Juarez Airport and Felipe Angeles International Airport, which resumed operations a few hours later.
The volcano rumbled to life again this week. Mexico's disaster prevention department maintains the alert level for this volcano at yellow, meaning medium risk.
The volcano is about 5,500 meters high and located around 72 kilometers southeast of the capital Mexico City.
