The Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt (Eje Volcánico Transversal) also known as the Transvolcanic Belt and locally as the Sierra Nevada (Snowy Mountain Range) is a volcanic belt that extends 900 km from west to east across central-southern Mexico. Several of its highest peaks have snow all year long and during clear weather they are visible to a large proportion of those who live on the many high plateaus from which these volcanoes rise.
