Description
View from space of Peru's 19,100-foot-high El Misti Volcano. The symmetric conical shape of El Misti is typical of a stratovolcano, a type of volcano characterized by alternating layers of lava and debris from explosive eruptions, such as ash and pyroclastic flows. The city of Arequipa, Peru, lies only 11 miles away from the summit of El Misti.
