Volcano showing signs of activity; potential for major eruption

El Chichón, a historically dangerous volcano in Chiapas, Mexico, erupted in 1982, causing nearly 2,000 deaths and significant economic damage, alongside global temperature impacts. In 2025, increased seismic activity raised alarms among volcanologists, with fears of a potential explosive eruption. Currently, access to its crater is restricted due to safety concerns, though recent hydrothermal activity does not indicate imminent danger. Researchers continue to monitor the situation using advanced technologies to assess risks and inform the public.
