Data from the Global Volcanism Program of the Smithsonian Institution
Details for: Tigre, Isla del
Isla el Tigre is a small, 5-km-wide island across a narrow strait south of Isla Zacate Grande in the Gulf of Fonseca of Honduras. The conical, 783-m-high stratovolcano, seen here from the NE on Zacate Grande island, is less dissected than Zacate Grande volcano and is of probable Holocene age. A single satellitic cone (far right) overlooks the NW-flank town of Amapala, Honduras' only Pacific port. The peak in the distance beyond the right-hand flank is the volcanic island of Meangura.

Isla del Tigre is a small, 5-km-wide island located across a narrow 2-km-wide strait S of Isla Zacate Grande in the Gulf of Fonseca. The conical basaltic stratovolcano is the southernmost volcano of Honduras. It is less dissected than neighboring Zacate Grande on the mainland to the N, and is of probable Holocene age (Carr 1992, pers. comm.). A single satellitic cone, El Vigía, overlooks the village of Amapala on the NW flank.
