Purace

Stratovulcano · Colombia · 4650 m

Snow-capped Puracé volcano has a 500-m-wide summit crater and is one of the most active volcanoes in Colombia. Frequent explosive eruptions in the 19th and 20th centuries have modified the morphology of the summit crater, with some of the largest occurring in 1849, 1869, and 1885.

Sintesi geologica

Puracé is an active andesitic volcano with a 600-m-diameter summit crater at the NW end of the Los Coconucos Volcanic Chain. This volcanic complex includes nine composite and five monogenetic volcanoes, extending from the Puracé crater more than 6 km SE to the summit of Pan de Azúcar stratovolcano. The dacitic massif which the complex is built on extends about 13 km NW-SE and 10 km NE-SW. Frequent small to moderate explosive eruptions reported since 1816 CE have modified the morphology of the summit crater, with the largest eruptions in 1849, 1869, and 1885.
