20th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Land of volcanoes
Mexico is one of the countries with more volcanoes and in this picture we can see two of the biggest volcanoes in Mexico, Iztaccihuatl (left) and Popocatepetl (right). This photo was taken early in the morning during the sunrise, that is why we can see this high contrast. The sun was rising behind these two giants but between me and the volcanoes there is a big valley that was still under the volcanoes´s shadow. The Iztacciahuatl volcano is also known as the "Sleepy woman", a quick view to this photo will show you why we call it this way.
