How is it possible that a volcano erupts and nobody even notices? This is exactly what happened here at Volcán Alcedo. Volcán Alcedo is one of the six shield volcanoes that make up Isabela Island in the Galapagos. Let me tell you more. The remote location of Volcán Alcedo means that it’s difficult to monitor. The last eruption of Volcán Alcedo occurred in 1993. It was so unnoticed that it wasn’t until two years later that scientists even realized it had erupted! Adding to its mystique, Volcán Alcedo is also unique because it’s the only volcano in the Galapagos to have erupted with both rhyolite and basaltic lava. The contrasting lava types create a fascinating tapestry of colors and textures, a testament to the powerful forces at work beneath the Earth’s surface.
