The massive Pleistocene Guazapa stratovolcano (left-center) is seen here in an aerial view from the SW with the Río Lempa behind it.  The youngest flank vent of Guazapa is Cerro Macanze, which lies on the SE flank of the volcano, behind the two small volcanoes in the right-center part of the photo.  The dark-colored unvegetated lava flow in the foreground was erupted in 1917 from the flank of San Salvador volcano. Photo by Paul Kimberly, 1999 (Smithsonian Institution).
