📷 Color Challenge Wednesday Yellow - The isolated San Martin Tuxtla volcano" By @hectorjoachim 😊

Dear Steemit Friends: 

This set of photos was taken during a walk to the top of the volcano at the end of the afternoon, hence the color in the vegetation, the sky and in general of nature. I liked seeing those yellow frames forming a walk in the direction of the volcano and how they make a warm contrast like the landscape. This place has several viewpoints in the highest parts of the volcano. 

I Hope you like! 

 

 

 

 

The isolated San Martin Tuxtla volcano is a shield volcano which rises above the Gulf of Mexico. It has had eruptions in historical times. It occurs in the Tuxtla volcanic field in Veracruz, Mexico. Lavas from San Martin vary between basanite and alkali basalt. San Martin forms a broad shield volcano, it rises to a height of 1680 m and is capped by a 1 km wide summit crater which is 150 m in depth. The crater contains two pyroclastic cones that were the source of the large 1793 eruption. The flanks of the volcano are dotted with 250 pyroclastic cones and maars, some of which have been active in historical times. The volcano is currently densely forested.
Eruptions
1664 eruption: A large VEI 3 eruption occurred from the southeast flank. This led to evacuation.
1793 eruption: A large VEI 4 eruption came from two pyroclastic cones in the summit, it produced widespread ashfall and lava flows that ran down the northeast flank.
1794-1796 eruption: A small VEI 2 eruption that continued for two years started in May, 1794.
