Desert View: Monte Leste (Sal - Cape Verde, January 2016)
Like Monte Leste (el. 263 meters) the volcanos on the island of Sal are extinct according to volcanologists.
Then again, in November 2014 there was a huge volcanic eruption on the Cape Verde Island of Fogo - not more than around 250 KM in linear distance from Sal. At the time villages were completely destroyed on Fogo and people had to be evacuated from the Island. Also, volcanologists say that there is a substantial volcanic activity going on below sea level in the Western part of the archipelago. They even expect the birth of new islands over there in the not too distant future...
