content: Landscape sketch showing view of the volanco, Cotopaxi, erupting and sending plumes of smoke across the mountainous Ecuadorian landscape. In foreground, a human-made structure is visible at right. In middle distance, a valley separates view from distant mountains. Beyond, a rugged mountain range stands before Cotopaxi, which spews a column of smoke into the atmosphere that spreads across the rest of the sky at right.
