The Cosigüina caldera, 2.5 km wide and more than 500 m deep, is in the center of this December 2019 Planet Labs satellite image monthly mosaic (N is at the top; this image is approximately 25 km across). The ridge SE of the caldera is the Loma San Juan lava flows, and the El Barranco Maar is NNE of the caldera. The arcuate ridge to the W is the Filete Cresta Montosa, interpreted as the remains of an older caldera.
