Fogo | Bordeira and Pico do Fogo panorama

[ Stop slideshow ]
WI_cv100.jpg

Panoramic view from a hilltop near the SE corner of the escarpment known as Bordeira across the lava field of 1951 to the stratovolcano Pico do Fogo (2829 m). The caldera bounded by the escarpment formed at least partly due to massive prehistoric landsliding. The cone of Pico do Fogo evolved afterwards.
