Global Volcanism Program | Image GVP-03862

The Santiaguito lava-dome complex (center) has been in continual activity since 1922.  It is seen here in March 1983 from the SE, with Siete Orejas volcano forming the broad forested ridge above it and Tacaná (left) and Tajumulco (right) volcanoes appearing on the left skyline.  Santiaguito was constructed within the large 1902 explosion crater, which cuts the SW flank of Santa María volcano at the right. Copyrighted photo by Katia and Maurice Krafft, 1983.
