Mt. Cotopaxi (0.7S 78.4W) is a stratovolcano with a summit elevation of 19,388 feet (5,911 m). It has erupted 50 times since 1738. The 1877 eruption melted snow and ice on the summit, which produced mudflows that traveled 60 miles (100 km) from the volcano. The most recent eruption of Cotopaxi ended in 1904. Reports of an eruption in 1942 have not been confirmed. The most recent activity was an increase in steam emissions, melting snow, and small earthquakes from 1975-1976.

I think our team can be fairly confident that it's not going to erupt while we're climbing it.

That volcano looks so much like Mt. Fuji in Japan.

This is wonderful, and we wish you nothing but the best of luck and success. We will be sure to put a link on our site to help generate some interest. My father had passed away from pancreatic cancer once diagnosed quite suddenly 2 years ago, so I am glad to offer help against this disease in any of its form, any way I possibly can.

We are a fishing/outdoors site here in Baltimore. We hope it helps you meet/exceed your goals, and good luck in your journey.
