    OVERVIEW

    Behold the barren terrain that the last eruption of the Capelinhos volcano left in its wake and gain an understanding of how that event and others affected the island’s microclimates and marine ecosystems. That offshore eruption occurred in the late 1950s and transformed the nearby landscape into a hauntingly lunar-like surface. Although the lighthouse survived, its first floor is still covered by volcanic ash. An interpretative center was constructed underground behind the lighthouse so as not to disturb the appearance of the strange setting. Inside, you will find exhibits that clearly explain the Capelinhos eruption and the volcanic formation of the Azores, a Portuguese archipelago of nine islands. The eruption continued for more than a year and dramatically changed the lives of the local population. The Varadouro natural swimming pools are one of the few positive effects of the eruptions that have altered the island. You may have the opportunity to pause there for photos.


    HIGHLIGHTS
    • Browse an interpretative center that explains the 1957 eruption of a nearby volcano.
    • Be awed by the bizarre lunar-like landscape that the volcano left in its wake .
    • Gain an understanding of past volcanic activity that formed the Azores archipelago.
