What is the name of the cinder cone volcano in Michoacan that suddenly emerged from a farmer's cornfield in 1943, becoming the first volcano whose entire life cycle was observed by modern science?

Paricutin grew to 424 metres in its first year alone and continued erupting until 1952, burying two villages but sparing the church tower of San Juan Parangaricutiro.
