Global Volcanism Program | Image GVP-12520

The roughly 7 x 10 km Zapatera island contains more than 30 vents across 150 km2, shown in this March 2019 Planet Labs satellite image monthly mosaic (N is at the top; this image is approximately 12 km across). The island is heavily faulted due to the Ochomogo fault zone, and a 150-m-high scarp is along the center. Satellite image courtesy of Planet Labs Inc., 2019 (https://www.planet.com/).
