Details for: Toluca, Nevado de
Nevado de Toluca, México's fourth highest peak, is a broad, complex stratovolcano with a 1.5-km-wide summit crater that is open to the east. The northern slope of the volcano rises here above the Zacango valley with a thin covering of summit snow, from which the name Nevado is derived. Two violent pelean eruptions during the late Pleistocene produced widespread ashfall and pyroclastic-flow deposits. More recent work has revealed evidence for at least one Holocene eruption, about 3300 years ago. Photo by José Macías, 1997 (Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México).
