Flight São Filipe - Praia, view to the SE slopes and E coast of the volcanic island of Fogo. Lava flows stand in sharp contrast to the otherwise green landscape during the wet season. The former island summit (Monte Amarelo) collapsed into the sea in prehistoric times, leaving behind the escarpment of the Bordeira (upper left portion of the image). The summit cone Pico do Fogo (2829 m) in the central background formed afterwards.
