About
Iztaccíhuatl or Ixtaccíhuatl (both forms also spelled without the accent) (Nahuatl pronunciation: [istakˈsiwat͡ɬ] or, as spelled with the x, [iʃtakˈsiwat͡ɬ]) is a 5,230 m (17,160 ft) dormant volcanic mountain in Mexico located on the border between the State of Mexico and Puebla within Izta-Popo Zoquiapan National Park. It is the nation's third highest, after Pico de Orizaba at 5,636 m (18,491 ft), and Popocatépetl at 5,426 m (17,802 ft). The name "Iztaccíhuatl" is Nahuatl for "White (like salt) woman", reflecting the four individual snow-capped peaks which depict the head, chest, knees and feet of a sleeping female when seen from east or west.
