Parícutin 

(also Paricutín), a volcano in Mexico, in the Transverse Volcanic Axis. It rises to an elevation of 2,774 m (according to some data, 3, 170 m). In 1943 there were great spurts of incandescent scoria, alternating with ejections of steam and ash, and significant lava flow. Parícutin’s eruptions, which lasted until 1952, were a combination of the strombolian and Vulcanian types.
