Lake Coatepeque - NASA Science

Lake Coatepeque

A blue lake rests within a caldera with steep walls. Several volcanoes near the caldera are capped by clouds. The terrain is mostly lush and green, with patches of gray urban areas.

Set amid El Salvador’s modern, active volcanic landscape, tranquil blue waters fill a caldera formed by ancient eruptions.
