Volcán Barva has a broad summit containing three main peaks (top right) as seen here looking N from the Central Valley of Costa Rica. A large 2 x 3 km crater opens to the ESE behind the summit. A large Plinian eruption occurred at Barva during the early Holocene. Photo by William Melson, 1993 (Smithsonian Institution)
