Nicaragua, El Salvador, Honduras: Cosigüina volcano and Golfo de Fonseca. The explosion of Cosigüina in August, 1859 has been the largest historical eruption to date in the western hemisphere. The volcano developed at the intersection of two structural complexes -- a bend in the convergent plate margin, and a north-trending fault valley (graben) that intersects the volcanic arc. Another volcanic peak rises at the outskirts of San Miguel, El Salvador. Extensive mariculture ponds can be observed in the eastern gulf.
