This view from the east shows four major volcanoes located within 45 km of Guatemala City. In the foreground is Pacaya, which has been in frequent eruption since 1965. The modern cone (left) partially overlaps the rim of a large caldera. The large volcano in the midground horizon is Volcán de Agua. In the background is Acatenango (right) and Fuego (left).
