Volcán Sudoeste, one of a group of young cones of the San Quintín Volcanic Field, is located at the end of a narrow peninsula extending into the Pacific Ocean. The sand bars along the coast connect Volcán Sudoeste to Monte Mazo, at the southern end of a 10-km-long sand spit. Photo by Jim Luhr, 1990 (Smithsonian Institution).
