El Chichon Volcano erupted with great force and produced a 1 km wide crater which now contains a lake. Before the 1982 eruption the volcano was covered in forest and unremarkable.
In April 2000 an increase in lake temperature at El Chichon Volcano indicated that new magma was entering the system.
The only historic of El Chichon Volcano was in 1982.
