I'm not aware of any caves in rock on Popo, which isn't to say there aren't any. But long ago Scott Harden told me he was climbing the mountain, saw an ice cave in a glacier across a valley, heard a deep rumble from the glacier and watched "house-size blocks of ice flying horizontally out of the cave's entrance!"

Recently I have been reading old climbing magazines from the 1980's a friend recently gave me. I was too poor to subscribe then. Off Belay, Summit and Climbing. One rag had pulled a summary from the NSS News saying caves were reported inside the crater rim of Popo. I think Popo has been in steady eruption since 1995 when we went down there to summit, but instead we climbed Itza as Popo was closed due to the smoking and minor eruptions. The following year we climbed Orizaba, 18,600 ft. asl.
