Summary[edit]

Description
English: This image acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 25 November 2020 shows the Los Volcanes National Park in El Salvador. The park is located in the Apaneca Llamatepec Biosphere Reserve (declared a protected area by UNESCO in 2007) and is home to two of the most characteristic volcanoes of central America: the Santa Ana and Izalco volcanoes. The Izalco Volcano is a stratovolcano often referred to as “The Lighthouse of the Pacific” because it provided a guide at night for ships plying the Salvadoran coast. The Santa Ana volcano (also known as Cerro de la Vieja) is the largest within the park. Its summit contains a small crater lake whose watercolour is intense turquoise due to the presence of volcanic minerals. The open data supplied by the satellites of the Copernicus missions enable to monitorimportant volcanic activity parameters such as deformations, thermal anomalies, emissions, etc.
