Snow and ice drapes the western flank of Nevado Incahuasi along the Chile/Argentina border, as seen from Paso las Lozas at 5100 m.  Nevado de Incahuasi is a complex volcanic massif located ENE of Nevados Ojos del Salado volcano.  Two stratovolcanoes occupy a compound 3.5 -km-wide caldera.  Pleistocene lava domes are located on the west and SW flanks of the 6621-m-high Nevado de Incahuasi, one of the world's highest volcanoes.   Photo by Oscar González-Ferrán (University of Chile).
