The Jorullo cone eruption began in 1759 in the Michoacán-Guanajuato Volcanic Field. In this view from the NW the unvegetated area visible on the center-horizon is the final lobe that flowed north. Volcán del Norte, one of Jorullo's four flank cones visible on the left horizon, produced a lava flow towards the west during the middle stages of the 1759-74 eruption.
