Image Caption: El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua. Detailed nadir view of Golfo de
Fonseca and Cosiguina volcano. The explosion of Cosiguina 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.
Amapala, on the flank of another volcano, is the port for
Honduras. Extensive maricultural development can be observed in the
eastern gulf.
