+ About this map
Cotopaxi rises 19,347 feet in the Ecuadorian Andes, one of the highest active volcanoes in the world. It stands along the Avenue of the Volcanoes south of Quito, wrapped in glacier despite sitting almost exactly on the equator. Its cone is famously symmetrical, a textbook stratovolcano built by repeated eruptions, and it remains active and closely monitored today.
This map makes that symmetry visible. The contour lines form nearly perfect concentric rings from the surrounding high plateau to the crater at the summit, a pattern few mountains on Earth can match. The tight, even spacing of the lines records the steady steepness of the cone, and at the very center they close around the summit crater itself, the source of the eruptions that built the mountain.
