Two major flank-collapse scarps on the NE and SW sides of Mombacho are visible in this March 2019 Planet Labs satellite image monthly mosaic (N is at the top; this image is approximately 25 km across). The islands to the NE are part of the 56.8 km² Las Isletas debris avalanche deposit; the 49.5 km² El Crater debris avalanche deposit is to the S. The La Danta debris avalanche deposit is between the two on the SE flank and surrounding area.
