Capelinhos Volcano
Monday, July 27th, 2009This is one of my favorite photos I took on Faial – the moonscape of Capelinhos.

The Azores Islands are volcanic and Capelinhos, on Faial’s western end, is still covered in ash with very little vegetation (the eruption took place in 1957/1958).
This is also the site of the underground Capelinhos Interpretation Centre.
