Cotopaxi is an active stratovolcano in the Andes Mountains, located in the Latacunga canton of Cotopaxi Province, about south of Quito, and northeast of the city of Latacunga, Ecuador, in South America.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Distance from Quito to Cotopaxi )〕 It is the second highest summit in Ecuador, reaching a height of . It is one of the world's highest volcanoes.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cotopaxi )〕〔http://www.elcomercio.com/actualidad/ceniza-explosion-cotopaxi-erupcion-ecuador.html 〕
Since 1738, Cotopaxi has erupted more than 50 times, resulting in the creation of numerous valleys formed by lahars (mudflows) around the volcano.
As of December 2015 Cotopaxi is under constant monitoring by The Geophysics Institute of Quito's National Polytechnic School placed Cotopaxi under active watch on 25 June 2015 after observing activity.〔〔 Cotopaxi's most recent eruption started on 15 August 2015.〔 〔 http://edition.cnn.com/2015/08/15/americas/ecuador-japan-volcanoes/ 〕 〔http://www.wired.com/2015/08/cotopaxi-continues-rumble-ecuador-prepares-eruption/ The Geophysics Institute of Quito's National Polytechnic School placed Cotopaxi under active watch on 25 June 2015 after observing activity〕
==Description==

On a clear day, Cotopaxi is clearly visible on the skyline from Quito and is part of the chain of volcanoes around the Pacific plate known as the Pacific Ring of Fire. It has an almost symmetrical cone that rises from a highland plain of about 3,800 metres (12,500 ft), with a width at its base of about 23 kilometres (14 mi). It has one of the few equatorial glaciers in the world, which starts at the height of 5,000 metres (16,400 ft). At its summit, Cotopaxi has an 800 X 550 m wide crater which is 250 m deep. The crater consists of two concentric crater rims, the outer one being partly free of snow and irregular in shape. The crater interior is covered with ice cornices and rather flat. The highest point is on the outer rim of the crater on the north side.
