Busy Monday with Dr. Steven Squyres, the Principle Investigator of the Mars Exploration Rover Mission (MER; otherwise known as the plucky Spirit and Opportunity) is at Denison to give a talk and meet with students.
On that note, here is Mystery Volcano Photo #9.
And if you have any more questions for me to consider to ask Dr. Jonathan Castro, email them to me soon at
Good luck!

Looks like Semeru to me.......
Should be San Miguel (aka Chaparrastique) in El Salvador ... I remember as a child I had a book with a black-and-white photograph showing approximately the same view.
