Maderas volcano rises to a height of 1394 m across a roughly 20-km-wide strait from the western shores of Lake Nicaragua.  The volcano, also known as La Madera, is the SE-most of two large stratovolcanoes forming the dumbbell-shaped island of Ometepe.  No historical eruptions are known from Maderas.
