Description:
|
Snow-capped Colima Volcano, the most active volcano in Mexico, rises abruptly from the surrounding landscape in the state of Jalisco. Colima is actually a melding of two volcanoes, the older Nevado de Colima to the north and the younger, historically active Volcan de Colima to the south. Legend has it that gods sit atop the volcano on thrones of fire and ice. This scene was acquired on February 6, 2003, by the Adva nced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) aboard NASA’s Terr a satellite. Image provided by the US GS EROS Data Center Satellite Systems Branch as part of the Earth as Art II image series
