Popocatepetl is one of Mexico's most active volcanoes and also part of an Aztec legend, a warrior who fell in love with a young woman (Iztaccihuatl) who died while he was away in battle. He is said to be still mourning for her. Popocatepetl is located more or less 40 miles southeast of Mexico City. (Photo: RGoadPhotography)
