Travelers wait at the Mexico City International Airport, where 22 flights were canceled due to an ash cloud from the Popocatepetl volcano.

Mount Sinabung spews hot ash and smoke into the sky in Karo, North Sumatra in Indonesia. Sinabung, a 2,460-metre volcano, was dormant for centuries before roaring back to life in 2010 when an eruption killed two people.
