zalco erupted almost continuously from 1770 (when it formed) to 1958 earning it the nickname of "Lighthouse of the Pacific", and experienced a flank eruption in 1966. It is known as the 'Lighthouse of the Pacific' because until the late 1950's it was a very active volcano and its intermittent eruptions (every 5 minutes apx.) could be seen from the Pacific Ocean nearby. Izalco erupted last in the early 1970's thru a crater created on the south side of the volcano. The eruption period was short and the side crater has since disappeared. The volcano still smokes occasionally and is considered active.

San Vicente Volcano

Other names: Chichontepec

The San Vicente Volcano, also known as the Chichontepec is located South East of Lake
Ilopango, in the Department of San Vicente and its twin peaks reach a pont of highest
altitude of 2,182 metres. It is a andesitic stratovolcano the was constructed within the La
Carbonera Caldera wich is the peak next to the volcano and its only visible on its South
West side. Its Northern and Southern sides are covered with lava flow traces from its
main vent but the traces on the Eastern side originated from a vent on the upper flank.

The latest eruption recorded was in 260 AD neighboring the Ilopango Caldera, some
eruptions recorded in 1643 an 1835 are proved to be false. It is a dormant volcano but
numerous hot springs and fumaroles are found in the Northern and Western flanks of the

San Salvador Volcano, Boquerón crater with Boqueroncito cinder cone visible at the bottom

The San Salvador Volcano (also known as Quetzaltepec) is a complex volcano situated
northwest to the city of San Salvador. The crater has been nearly filled with a relatively newer
edifice, the Boquerón volcano. The city of San Salvador is adjacent to the volcano and the
western section of the city actually lies among its slopes. Because of this close proximity, any
geological activity of the volcano, whether eruptive or not, has the potential to result in
catastrophic destruction and death to the city. Despite this, the volcano is iconic of the city, and
several TV and radio antennas are situated on the El Picacho peaks and the crater of
Boqueron. El Picacho, the prominent peak is the highest elevation (1,960 meters altitude).

and it is part of El Salvador’s volcanic arc. It is located on the San Miguel department of
El Salvador, with the Pan-American and other coastal highways running cross its northern
and southern edges it threatens transport, coffee fields and small communities in case of
eruption. It has erupted 29 times since 1699. It has a broad, deep crater that has been
molded by several historical eruptions.
