PIX4658526: Volcano Fogo - Cape Verde - Volcano Fogo - Cape Verde islands - Fogo Island with its highest volcano 2800 meters south of the Cape Verde archipelago. Image obtained from the EO-1 satellite on 10 June 2009. Fogo is one of the Cape Verde Islands located roughly 640 kilometers off the westernmost tip of Africa, Fogo received its name from English colonists around 1500 AD. The Advanced Land Imager on Nasa's EO - 1 satellite captured this detailed image of the volcano on June 10, 2009. The volcano's most distinctive feature, its nine - kilometer wide caldera, Cha Caldera, is shown in this image. The eastern half of the crater wall is gone, erased in a massive collapse deep in its ancient history. In the center of the crater, a steep cone named Pico rises about 100 meters above the crater rim (more than a kilometer from the crater floor). The young peak reaches 2,829 meters (9,281 feet) above sea level, making it the island's highest point. The crater is inhabited. A straight road cuts between the crater wall and Pico, ending near the wind that erupted in 1995. Bright white dots on the north side of the crater are villages. Residents of the Cha Caldera evacuated during the eruption / Bridgeman Images
