This photo from the E overlooks the Rincón de la Vieja summit cone complex in the Rincón de la Vieja National Park. The turquoise-colored lake is within the Cráter Activo and the darker Laguna Fria is to the lower left. The arcuate, forested ridge to the lower left is the rim of Rincón de la Vieja cone itself. Erosional gullies have formed within tephra deposits across the Cráter Activo and the Von Seebach cone (upper left) flanks.
