A 7.5-mile exclusion zone has been set up around one of the world's most feared volcanoes after a further series of eruptions.

Dramatic eruptions captured on web cams, which monitor the the Popocatépetl volcano in Puebla, Mexico, round the clock showed the magma mountain spewing ash and smoke 2,500 feet upwards into a sunlit background.

In just 17 hours the peak erupted three times, causing a 1.7 magnitude earthquake.

The exclusion zone remains in place as a safety precaution.
