Azores Natural Wonders
The Azores archipelago showcases the dramatic geological legacy of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. This collection spans several islands, featuring the 2,351-meter stratovolcano of Mount Pico and the massive calderas of São Miguel. Key sites include the Algar do Carvão lava tube on Terceira, the steaming fumaroles of Furnas, and high-altitude crater lakes like Lagoa do Fogo. Visitors will find iron-rich thermal pools, coastal tide pools warmed by geothermal activity at Ferraria, and lush valleys containing waterfalls fed by the islands' humid microclimates.
