Parícutin Volcano, Mexico
Parícutin is a remarkable cinder cone volcano in west central Mexico that formed within living memory – in 1943 – making it the youngest volcano in the western hemisphere. Local townsfolk watched on as it grew from nothing to a substantial volcano within hours and then went on to reach 2,807 metres above sea level within a year. A nearby village was buried but, miraculously, few people died from the event.
