Volcano Blog: San Cristobal, Nicaragua

Story.

More info can be found here.

Nicaragua's highest volcano. It appears to have been intermittently active during recorded history. The photo shows it to be a typical young stratovolcano with a relatively clear vent, since it has been able to grow into the classic cone shape. I would thus guess that the volcano's current eruption will result in some additional growth of the summit with little danger to the surrounding area.
