Changing PopoOne certain thing about Popo. It is in a constant state of flux. I remember visiting the Tlamacas lodge in January, 1990 and marveled how comfortable and popular climbing the mountain had become since I first climbed it in the early 1950s. Now it has return to its primal state without lodge and without glacier and very dangerous to climb at all. I am self-satisfied to have known Popo when it was a relatively friendly volcano.

Re: Changing PopoYep, I'm also glad I climbed it before it erupted.
Interestingly, I remember reading a report from 1992, that said something to the effect that the mountain is still considered active, but that is was very unlikely to erupt anytime soon. They sure blew that one.

Great pictureI never got to the top. I was there with my Dad around Christmas of 1975. Was that lodge the place where they never could get the fire going very well because of the altitude?
I remember getting sick from kerosene fumes.

Re: Great pictureOn my visit, I don't remember a fire. It was fairly cool in the hut.
