Description
Cotopaxi is an active stratovolcano in the Andes Mountains, located in the Latacunga canton of Cotopaxi Province, about 75 km south of Quito, and 33 km northeast of the city of Latacunga, Ecuador, in South America. It is the second highest summit in Ecuador, reaching a height of 5,897 m (19,347 ft) making it is one of the world's highest volcanoes.
Since 1738, Cotopaxi has erupted more than 50 times, resulting in the creation of numerous valleys formed by lahars (mudflows) around the volcano. It has one of the few equatorial glaciers in the world, starting at 5000m. The first ascent of Cotopaxi was made by Wilhelm Reiss and Angel Escobar on November 28, 1872.
This digitally altered artwork is derived from a photograph taken July 17/15 in Ecuador, South America nestled in the Andes Mountains.
