Flores | Caldeira das Sete Lagoas with Lagoa Seca and Lagoa Comprida

WI_afc037.jpg

View from Pico dos Sete Pés to the Caldeira das Sete Lagoas with three lake-filled maars of Holocene age, which are from bottom left to top right: Lagoa Seca (with little water), Lagoa Comprida, and Lagoa Negra. These depressions formed due to phreatomagmatic explosions, induced by the contact between magma and groundwater.
