Global Volcanism Program | Image GVP-08591

Volcán de Colima (center) and Nevado de Colima (right) are seen here from a quarry at Cerro la Escalera, 23 km NE. Up to 25 m of volcanic deposits (not visible in this photo) from both Cántaro and Colima volcanoes are exposed at Cerro la Escalera. The rocky outcrop in the foreground is a quarry wall cut in Cretaceous limestones for cement. The town of Huescalapa is visible to the lower right within the Colima graben.
