Multiple scoria cones have formed across the flanks of Sangangüey. The light-colored cone below the skyline and to the right is cone C4, and the darker cone on the lower right horizon is D8. These two cones are part of the youngest group of cones and may be only 1,000 years old. A lava flow from the C4 crater traveled down the south flank of Sangangüey between the two older cones of B3 and B4, in the foreground.
