ピコ島の火山

Volcanic Peaks of Pico

Pico Island contains some of the most dramatic volcanic landscapes in the Azores, centered around the towering Mount Pico, Portugal's highest point at 2,351 meters. This collection highlights the island's diverse geological formations, from the historical lava fields of Cabeços do Mistério to the series of scoria cones and craters that form the central volcanic ridge. These sites illustrate the island's basaltic volcanism and complex tectonic history within the Macaronesian region.
