The geothermal well AMF-1 within Amatitlán caldera near Pacaya is seen here with the Laguna Caldera fault scarp in the background. Geothermal development within this 14 x 16 km Pleistocene caldera was providing electrical power to Guatemala's capital city, which overlies deposits from Amatitlán caldera.
