Graciosa

成層火山 · Portugal · 402m

The south of Graciosa island is seen in this aerial view from the southwest. The village of Luz is at the center of the image. On the right (the southeast end of the island), is the 0.9 x 1.5 km Vulcão Central caldera, which formed between 60,000 and 11,000 years ago; the caldera rim forms the highest point of the 7 x 12 km island. The lava cave Furna Do Enzofre is situated in the southeastern part of the caldera, and exhibits fumarolic activity. Vegetated volcanic cones and part of the approximately 700,000 year old Serra das Fontes complex can be seen in the left of the photo.

地質学的概要

The SE end of Graciosa, the northernmost of the central Azorean islands, contains a 0.9 x 1.6 km caldera with active fumaroles. The SE caldera rim is the high point of the 7 x 12 km island. The caldera has been the source of eruptions producing significant tephra falls, pyroclastic flows, lahars, and lava flows. Fumaroles are present in a volcanic cave inside the caldera, and a submarine fumarole occurs off the NW coast. Scoria cones erupted along several widely spaced NE-SW-trending fissures fed a youthful lava field that forms the NW end of the island. The most recent eruption from Pico Tomao, NW of the caldera, produced a lava flow during the mid-to-late Holocene that reached the eastern coast NW of the village of Praia.
