The smooth profile of the Cofre de Perote volcano is modified on the NE side by steep escarpments. The morphology of the summit reflects both edifice collapse and glacial erosion. Dacite lava flows can be seen on the right-hand horizon. Photo by Hugo Delgado, 1997 (Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México).
