Map of Iztaccíhuatl

Iztaccíhuatl or Ixtaccihuatl (Aztec, “white woman”), dormant volcanic mountain of central Mexico, near Mexico City and Popocatépetl. It has three summits, the central one being the tallest (5,286 m / 17,343 ft). Its summits are constantly covered with snow, and from Mexico City the mountain resembles a reclining figure. Iztaccíhuatl, therefore, is popularly referred to as the “sleeping woman.”
