Laguna de Madera occupies the roughly 800-m-wide summit crater of Maderas volcano.  The summit and flanks of the volcano are offset along numerous faults.  A N-S-trending leaf graben (a depression with opposing crescentic faults) cuts the west side of the summit of the heavily forested volcano.  Displacements of 100 m or more occur on this and several other faults cutting the volcano. Photo by Jaime Incer, 1990.
