Massive, 5753-m-high Antisana volcano is seen here from its SW on the northern flank of Cotopaxi volcano.  The glacier-clad Antisana was constructed immediately SE of Chacana caldera, the largest rhyolitic center of the northern Andes, which lies beyond the jagged ridge left of Antisana.  The only unequivocal historical eruption of Antisana occurred in 1801-02 from a vent NNE of the summit.  Photo by John Ewert, 1992 (U.S. Geological Survey).
