This vegetated island is Cerro Grande, a post-caldera lava dome in the SW side of Coatepeque caldera. The partially submerged dome has a basal diameter of about 2.5 km and a volume of about 0.5 km3. The smaller San Pedro Island with one tree is exposed during low lake levels. Photo by Lee Siebert, 2002 (Smithsonian Institution).
