A lava flow travels down the upper flank of Colima in this 20 January 1982 view from the south. The dark-colored flow can be seen descending from the dome down the center. A period of lava dome growth with intermittent small explosions and block-and-ash flows had begun in December 1977. Renewed lava extrusion had begun on 9 December 1980.
