This view from the southern rim of Coatepeque shows the western side of San Salvador volcano. The broad Boquerón edifice has grown within a large crater within an older stratovolcano, of which rounded Picacho to the left is a remnant. The flat brown-colored area to the right is the 1722 lava flow from San Marcelino scoria cone on the lower flank of Santa Ana.
