An ash plume towers above Colima on 7 March 1903 in this view from the south. A large explosive eruption on 15 February produced abundant ashfall and pyroclastic flows. The light-colored area down the flank to the left may be pyroclastic flow deposits. More than 20 large explosions, including this one, took place between 15 February and 14 March.
