Beschreibung:
The 3450-m-high Cuauhtzin lava dome (right horizon), capping a low lava shield north of the crest of the Sierra Chichinautzin, was formed between about 7360 and 8225 radiocarbon years ago. Dacitic lava flows and block-and-ash flow deposits surround the dome. Cuauhtzin means "seat of the eagle" in the Nahuatl language. Snow-capped Iztaccihuatl volcano lies on the left horizon.
