The Nevado El Cisne (English: The Swan) is a mountain in the Central Cordillera of the Andes in Colombia. Its summit is at an altitude of 4636 metres.[1] The mountain is one of the five lava domes of the Nevado del Ruiz volcano complex.[2] 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.[3]
