Kunal and me on top of Santa María
Me on the tallest rock at the summit, with volcanoes near Antigua and Lago de Atitlán in the background
360 degree panorama from the summit. From left: Guatemalan teenagers listening to reggaeton and smoking; volcanoes Tacaná in Chiapas and Tajumulco in San Marcos, Guatemala (I worked between them with APECAFORM); the Xela valley, still foggy; the volcanoes that surround Lago de Atitlán, and in the distance the volcanoes near Antigua; the flat coastal plains; smoke from Santiaguito.
