Popocatepetl Kids Hoodies

Hope you like it.

Ever since visiting Taal Volcano in the Philippines on a school trip I have been fascinated by volcanoes, so to document and learn more about them I have started a Volcano patch series and here's a favourite 'Popocatépetl' located just south of Mexico City, Mexico at 5,426 m, its name means 'Smoking Mountain' in Aztec. It is one of the most active volcanoes in Mexico & is the second-highest in North America. In 1994 it became active again after nearly 50 years of being dormant, and is now regularly active with steam plumes and erratic eruptions. Stay tuned for others in the series coming soon...

Iztaccíhuatl's father sent Popocatépetl to war in Oaxaca, promising him his daughter as his wife if he returned. Iztaccíhuatl's father presumed he would not return and so arranged several suitors for his beloved daughter. When Iztaccíhuatl heard of this she killed herself with a dagger, because she knew that Popocatépetl would never survive in battle, and did not want to marry anyone else. When Popocatépetl returned, and discovered the death of his lover, he took her to the top of the mountain, hoping the cold would wake her, but instead, he froze. God covered them with snow and changed them into mountains. Iztaccíhuatl's mountain was called "La Mujer Dormida" ("The Sleeping Woman") because it bears a resemblance to a woman sleeping...
