Volcanoes in Cape Verde

Cape Verdean Volcanoes

Cape Verde’s archipelago is defined by its dramatic volcanic topography, ranging from the active stratovolcano Pico do Fogo, which rises to 2,829 meters, to the ancient, eroded peaks of Sal and Boa Vista. This collection highlights the diverse geological formations across the islands, including massive calderas, cinder cones, and rugged volcanic plugs. Visitors can explore the high-altitude landscapes of Santo Antão, the peaks of São Nicolau, and the stark, windswept volcanic ridges that shape the unique identity of each island in the chain.
