The high peaks of the Andes form the backbone of South America and were formed from the subduction of the Nazca Plate under the South American Plate, the south-central Andes also includes several major volcanoes. One of the most active border volcanoes is Volcan Maipo, the summit of which rests in the large Diamante Caldera. This photo taken from the International Space Station shows the volcano near the southern hemisphere spring equinox. Lake Diamante, just east of Maipo’s peak, is still ice covered.

I'm a complete sucker for the satellite and space station photos, am subscribed to NASA's Earth Observatory to give me my weekly fix. :) This is a sweet shot indeed, I could run my eyes over those sinuous natural fractals for ever. (Down boy down.) Thanks for the upload Phil.

Not all beauty is obvious.
Phil, I love your captures from space. Marvelous sights you have brought us. I wish school had been this interesting! Beautiful image here...those ice covered peaks are awesome. Keep sending forth these inspiring shots - I'm always amazed by them :^>
