The two rounded peaks to the lower left are the Los Hijos del Volcán lava domes on Colima. These domes formed immediately south of the partially buried remnant of the SE caldera wall. The two domes and associated lava flows post-date caldera formation and mark the southernmost volcanic center of the Cantaro-Colima volcanic chain. Another flank lava dome, El Volcancito, forms the small ridge on the lower right flank, NE of the degassing summit.
