Global Volcanism Program | Image GVP-08214

Clouds drape Cerro Totuma (left) and Cerro Pelón (right), post-caldera lava domes of Volcán Tsingal (Cerro Colorado).  The volcano lies in the Talamanca Range of westernmost Panama, next to the Costa Rica border NW of Volcán Barú.  The photo is taken from Cerro Pando, a lava dome that lies on the southern side of the volcano, opposite a 7-km-wide caldera that is breached widely to the SW.  Potassium-Argon ages for the Volcán Colorado complex range from 1.66 million years to 0.52 million years. Photo by Lee Siebert, 1998 (Smithsonian Institution).
