The elongated Coropuna volcanic massif is seen here from the NE.  The dark lava flow descending the NE flank at the left center is one of several youthful lava flows that overlie roughly 11,000-year-old glacial moraines.  The morphology of this flow and others on the SE and western flanks suggest that they are very young and postdate activity from the summit craters.
