Glaciated Sara Sara volcano is in the center of this 22 July 2019 Sentinel-2 satellite image (N is at the top). A 15-km-long lava flow is visible on the eastern flank, with clear levees along the flow boundary. It is the westernmost young volcano in Peru and has produced intermittent explosive activity for less than 2 million years. Satellite image courtesy of Copernicus Sentinel Data, 2019.
