The Jorullo cone (right-center) is seen here from the SSW with Cerro la Pilita cone in the foreground. The small, less-vegetated cones immediately to the left are the SW-flank vents that produced lava flows during the middle part of the 1759-1774 eruption. Cerro la Pilita is an older cone that produced pre-historical lava flows along a narrow channel to the SW. Photo by Jim Luhr, 1997 (Smithsonian Institution).
