The low pyroclastic cone Stuert Hill (also spelled Stuart Hill) rises beyond Utila, the largest village on the island of the same name.  A ferry connects the village of Utila, formerly known as East Harbor, to the mainland of Honduras.  Most of the island consists of flat-lying uplifted coral reefs; volcanic rocks are found only at the eastern end of the island. Photo by Rick Wunderman, 1999 (Smithsonian Institution).
