Description
WikipediaThe Nevado El Cisne or Nevado del Cisne (English: The Snowy Swan), also known as Paramillo el Cisne or Paramillo del Cisne (English: The Little Paramo-like Swan), is a volcano in the Central Ranges of the Andes in Colombia. Its summit is at an altitude of approximately 4,700 metres (15,400 ft). The mountain belongs to the Cisne-Morro Negro lava dome, a small volcanic complex near Nevado del Ruiz. Despite the nevado part of the name, indicating a permanently snow-capped mountain, the summit of El Cisne is now below the permanent snow line as a result of global warming, and it is no longer considered a true nevado. Hence it is now commonly referred to as a paramillo.
