Azores-Caldera





Perhaps Marcia will blog about the geological wonder that has made the Azores. I got these photos as we sailed away and Marcia brought to my attention that there was once a volcanic crater here and the force of the lava flow broke one of the rims so that the lava fell into the sea.


The villages that have come to be here enjoy weather protection from three sides and nice waterfront property. However, there are always risks to living on volcanoes, even old ones.
