El Salvador: Lake Ilopango

This is my first postcard from El Salvador! Lake Ilopango is a crater lake which fills a scenic volcanic caldera in central El Salvador. Four major dacitic - rhyolitic eruptions occurred during the late Pleistocene and Holocene, producing pyroclastic flows and tephra that blanketed much of the country. The caldera collapsed most recently, sometime between 410 and 535 AD (based on radiocarbon dating of plant life directly related to the eruption),which produced widespread pyroclastic flows and devastated Mayan cities.

Stamps:
Native People (from set of two), issued on 04.11.2015.
Friendship with Taiwan, issued on 14.10.2016.


Thank you William!
