Iztacihuatl Sunrise
This is the view of the sunrise in the journey to the Top of the Iztaccihuatl volcano (5286 meters above sea level), at the Mexican transversal volcanic axes. Iztaccihuatl volcano represents a Mexica princess because the whole form of the mountain looks like a sleeping woman, also its considered as an authentic deity by the ancient Mexican culture. Although it was a cold and windy winter the landscape views always are beautiful.
