The image displays the active Popocatépetl volcano, snow-capped and emanating a plume of grayish-white smoke and ash, under a clear blue sky. The viewpoint is from San Bernardino Tlaxcalancingo, Mexico. The volcano occupies the central and lower-middle sections of the frame, featuring a prominent conical shape with its upper slopes covered in white snow and ice. A distinct column of smoke rises vertically from the summit crater before dispersing horizontally towards the left side of the frame. Several detached white clouds are visible around the mid-section of the volcano. The immediate foreground, at the bottom of the image, presents an out-of-focus view of the tops of residential buildings and a line of green trees. The scene is brightly lit, indicative of daytime. No human figures or direct interactions are visible.
