Data from the Global Volcanism Program of the Smithsonian Institution
Details for: Tahual
Volcán Tahual rises about 700 m above plains south of the town of Monjas, seen here from the NE. The summit contains a broad erosional depression that opens at the NE base of the volcano (center). A Holocene cone near the NE base of Volcán Tahual produced a short lava flow, now vegetated to the right. Photo by Lee Siebert, 1993 (Smithsonian Institution).

Deeply dissected Volcán Tahual rises ~700 m above plains S of the town of Monjas. The summit of the forested stratovolcano is cut by a broad erosional crater that extends to the base of the volcano and is narrowly breached to the NE. A Holocene pyroclastic cone near the NE base fed a short basaltic lava flow (Williams et al., 1964). The scenic lake-filled Laguna de Hoyo lies to the N. This steep-walled crater and the NE-flank cinder cone lie along faults bordering a graben that extends across the eastern base of the volcano to neighboring Retana caldera on the SE.
