Laguna Lejía lies to the north of the volcano.The volcano which has been dormant for at least 10000 years is now showing signs of life. A January 6 2002 nighttime thermal infrared image from ASTER revealed a hot spot in the summit crater as well as several others along the upper flanks of the volcano’s edifice indicating new volcanic activity.
