Fogo Island - July 2001<br> Spectacular Views in Cape Verde picture - The first former cratere shot from the active cone. At the bottom spread a high plain invaded by lava fields where are located two villages. This volcanic crest is drawn in arc and is a natural clouds barrier, that explains the difference of precipitations between the eastern and western part of Fogo Island. Copyright Nicolas Pietri
