Fogo with Estância Roque and Cabeça Fundão

WI_cv093.jpg

Volcanic landscape near the SE corner of the Bordeira and the uppermost agricultural fields, view in SE direction. Pyroclastic deposits and ancient craters prominently appear in the foreground of the scene, whereas lava flows cut through the lush green of the fields in the background. The lava flow seen in the left portion of the photo dates back to an eruption in 1951, the most recent event on the island where lava left the caldera and moved down an outer slope.
