Topo Volcano, Pico

Topo Volcano is an inactive shield volcano located on Pico Island, Azores. The volcano measures 1,002 m in height and occupies the southernmost area of the island. It is part of the Lajes Volcanic Complex, the oldest volcanic apparatus which gave origin to the island, around 300,000 years ago. The volcano was created by a 600 m thick superposition of alternated Pāhoehoe lava flows and thin layers of pyroclastic material. ()
