Data from the Global Volcanism Program of the Smithsonian Institution
Details for: Gallego
The Pliocene-to-Quaternary Gallego volcanics cover a large area of NW Guadalcanal Island along the top part of this NASA International Space Station image (N is to the upper right). Local traditions mention a historical eruption from Mount Roundhead, but this could refer to an eruption from Savo volcano, the island to the upper right. Mount Esperance volcano rises above Cape Esperance, across the channel from Savo Island. The city of Honiara lies along the northern coast of Guadalcanal Island at the lower right.

The Pliocene-to-Quaternary Gallego volcanics, comprising a group of steeply dissected cones, cover a large area of NW Guadalcanal Island (Hackman, 1980). Mount Roundhead is a small, but well-preserved volcano. Local traditions mention an historical eruption, but this could refer to an eruption from Savo volcano (1991 pers. comm. from Coleman to R W Johnson). The International Association of Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth's Interior (1973) considered andesitic Mount Esperance to have been active during the past 2000 years.
