The large forested area at the middle right is the 1662-m-high Moyuta volcanic complex, its summit composed of a series of overlapping andesitic lava domes.  The small white-colored area above and to the right of the dome complex is the city of Moyuta, which lies at an altitude of nearly 1300 m.  Moyuta is the easternmost of the chain of large stratovolcanoes stretching across the Guatemalan Highlands. NASA Landsat image, 2000 (courtesy of Loren Siebert, University of Akron).
