Image Caption: STS080-706-008 Baja California, Mexico November 1996
Several large areas of volcanic activity, forming plateau-like features, are easily identified along the west coast of Baja California. The geologic structure in the center of the image is an old, severely eroded volcano, which is the southernmost feature of the Sierra Viscaino (also known as the Sierra Santa Clara). The center of the eroded caldera is visible almost exactly in the middle of the picture. More resistant large lava-formed lobes can be seen immediately south of the old caldera. The dark feature southeast of the volcano (upper left corner) is the northern end of Laguna San Ignacio, while the dark feature in the upper right corner of the image is Bahia San Hipolito. The light colored lines traversing this arid environment are roads that connect the coastal areas with the main highway that extends northwest to southeast throughout the Baja California peninsula.
