Fumarolic areas at Socorro are concentrated near the summit of Cerro Evermann. They occur on all sides of North Dome, a young lava dome just to the north. The most extensive hydrothermal alteration is located in areas on the E, W, and SW sides of North Dome. Photo by Martha Marin, 1998 (Mexican Navy).
