The massive breached caldera of Siete Orejas volcano is seen here from the south, the direction in which it is breached by the Ocosito river. Irregularities on the broad rim of the 3.5 x 10 km caldera give the volcano its name, which means "Seven Ears." Photo by Bill Rose, 1980 (Michigan Technological University).
