Guallatiri (6071m)

The contour map uses a hypsometric color scale where green represents lower elevations, yellow and orange indicate mid-range altitudes, and white marks the highest zones near the summit. Thicker contour lines (index contours) are drawn at wider intervals to help you quickly estimate elevation.

The contour map of Guallatiri (6071m) uses a 100m contour interval. This means each line represents a 100m change in elevation. Closely spaced contours indicate steeper terrain, while widely spaced contours show gentler slopes.

The elevation profile is a cross-section through Guallatiri (6071m) from west to east, passing through the summit at 6,071m. It reveals the mountain's shape, steepness, and relative height compared to the surrounding terrain. The horizontal axis shows distance in kilometers from the peak.

At Guallatiri (6071m)'s latitude (18°), the estimated permanent snow line is approximately 4,800m. Since Guallatiri (6071m) reaches 6,071m, about 1,271m of the mountain extends above the snow line. This is shown as a dashed blue line on the elevation profile.

As a stratovolcano, Guallatiri (6071m) was built by alternating layers of lava and ash. The summit crater is visible on the contour map as a small depression within the tightly spaced concentric contours near the peak.
