Volcanes Toliman y Atitlan, Guatemala

Amanecer desde el Volcan San Pedro (3 020 msnm):

Lago de Atitlan

Los volcanes de Atitlбn, ubicado en la caldera de "Los Chocoyos" hay varios focos eruptivos en su entorno, siendo los mas representativos y visibles, el volcбn San Pedro a la derecha, detrбs el Tolimбn y el Atitlбn. En las faldas del Tolimбn se ubica el Cerro de Oro, en las del Volcбn San Pedro son visibles 3 focos mas. La superficie del lago esta situada a los 1562 msnm, las cimas de los volcanes a 3020, 3158 y 3535 msnm respectivamente, al fondo de la panorбmica se observan las cimas de los Volcanes Acatenango y Fuego

Volcanoes, Usulutan, El Salvador (NASA, International Space Station Science, 03/31/10)Volcanoes near Usulutan, El Salvador are featured in this image photographed by an Expedition 23 crew member on the International Space Station. The Pacific coastline of much of Central America is marked by a line of active and quiescent volcanoes known to geologists as the Central American Volcanic Arc, or CAVA. The volcanoes result from the upward movement of magma generated along the subduction zone between the Cocos and Caribbean tectonic plates; frequent earthquakes also occur along the plate boundary. This photograph includes four stratovolcanoes -- a type of volcano associated with active subduction zones -- located near the midpoint of the CAVA in El Salvador. Scientists believe while all of the volcanoes shown here have been active during the Holocene Epoch (approximately 10,000 years ago to present), only the 2,130-meter-high San Miguel (also known as Chaparrastique) has been active during historical times. The most recent activity of San Miguel was a minor gas and ash emission in 2002. The steep conical profile and well-developed summit crater are evident at left, along with dark lava flows produced by San Miguel. Immediately to the northwest the truncated summit of Chinameca volcano (also known as El Pacayal) is marked by a two-kilometer-wide caldera, formed when the volcano''s magma chamber was emptied by a powerful eruption followed by collapse of the chamber''s roof. Like its neighbor San Miguel, Chinameca''s slopes host coffee plantations. Moving to the southwest the eroded cone of El Tigre volcano is visible. According to scientists, El Tigre volcano formed during the Pleistocene Epoch (1.8 million to approximately 10,000 years ago) and is likely the oldest of the stratovolcanoes depicted in the image. Usulutan volcano is located directed to the southwest of El Tigre. While the flanks of Usulutan have been dissected by stream flow it still retains a summit crater that is breached on the eastern side. Several urban areas - recognizable as light gray to white regions contrasting with green vegetation and tan fallow agricultural fields - are located in the vicinity of these volcanoes, including Usulutan (upper right) and Santiago de Mara (lower right).http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/gallery/images/station/crew-23/html/iss023e022411.html

Lake Ilopango, El Salvador (NASA, International Space Station Science, 11/11/09)Lake Ilopango, El Salvador is featured in this image photographed by an Expedition 21 crew member on the International Space Station. The Central American country of El Salvador occupies a land area nearly the same as the US State of Massachusetts, and includes numerous historically active volcanoes. This detailed photograph highlights the Ilopango Caldera that is located approximately 16 kilometers to the east of the capital city of San Salvador. Calderas are the geologic record of powerful volcanic eruptions that empty out a volcano''s magma chamber -- following the eruption, the overlying volcanic structure collapses into the newly-formed void, leaving a large crater-like feature (the caldera). The last caldera-forming eruption at Ilopango occurred during the 5th century AD; it was a powerful event that produced pyroclastic flows that destroyed early Mayan cities in the region. Later volcanic activity included the formation of several lava domes within the lake-filled caldera and near the shoreline. The only historical eruption at Ilopango took place in 1879-80. This activity resulted in the formation of a lava dome in the center of Lake Ilopango, the summit of which forms small islets today known as Islas Quemadas. The city of Ilopango borders the lake to the west (left) while green vegetated hillslopes ring the rest of the shoreline. White patchy cumulus clouds are also visible in the image (center and upper left).NASA''s Marshall Space Flight Center, en Flickr
