The glacier-covered Nevado Firura volcanic complex is seen here from the NW.  It consists of a 10-12 km long, NE-SW-trending cluster of small stratovolcanoes.  The highest peak is 5500-m Nevado Firura itself (right center).  Other volcanoes of the complex, including 5191-m-high Cerro Soncco Orcco, Cerro Jahsaya, and  Antapuna are located to the SW, left of this view.  Photo by Norm Banks, 1988 (U.S. Geological Survey).
