Some more information about Popocatepetl and Iztaccihuatl:

Popocatepetl:

Popocatepetl is the second-highest peak in Mexico and one of the most active volcanoes in the country.
Its name translates to “Smoking Mountain” in Nahuatl due to its frequent volcanic activity.
The volcano has a history of both explosive and effusive eruptions, with the most recent significant eruption occurring in 2000.
The surrounding area is densely populated, and the volcano’s activity poses a potential threat to nearby communities.
Iztaccihuatl:

Iztaccihuatl is the third-highest peak in Mexico and is often referred to as the “White Woman” due to its snow-capped appearance resembling a sleeping woman.
The name comes from the Nahuatl words “Iztac” (white) and “cihuatl” (woman).
Unlike Popocatepetl, Iztaccihuatl is currently dormant, meaning it is not showing any recent volcanic activity.
It has several peaks, with the highest one being known as “Iztaccihuatl’s knees.”
