Description: The image shows the volcano and its surroundings in photo-like true color. The Chaitén Volcano is a relatively small, tan mound near the top of the image. A white plume, likely composed of steam and possibly ash, rises from the volcano. Gray-tan ash blankets the snow on the peak of the neighboring Minchinmávida Volcano and the land between the two peaks.
