Global Volcanism Program | Image GVP-12330

The area NW of the town of Estelí (lower right) contains vegetated lava flows of the Estelí volcanic field, shown in this December 2019 Planet Labs satellite image monthly mosaic (N is at the top; the image is approximately 10 km across). They were mostly erupted from vents in valleys within the northern interior highlands of Nicaragua between the town of Estelí and the border with Honduras.
