Fumaroles and sulfur deposits on the northern flank of San Vicente (or Chichontepeque) are shown in this 2011 photo. Two geothermal areas are on the N flank, located along two radial faults. These are the surface manifestations of a 12 km² geothermal reservoir, producing thermal springs and fumaroles.
