Data from the Global Volcanism Program of the Smithsonian Institution
Details for: Pinta
The elongated island of Pinta is the northernmost of the active Galápagos volcanoes. This view from the summit of Pinta looks down on pyroclastic cones and lava flows on the southern flank of the shield volcano. Numerous young cones and lava flows originated from NNW-trending fissures cutting the island. The fresh, unvegetated lava flows that cover the SE and northern flanks appear to have been erupted during the past few thousand or few hundred years. The island in the distance is Marchena volcano.

The elongated island of Pinta is the northernmost of the active Galápagos volcanoes. It is a shield volcano with numerous young cones and lava flows originating from NNW-trending fissures. A steep sea cliff truncates the W flank. The fresh, unvegetated lava flows that cover the SE and N flanks appear to have been erupted during the past few thousand or few hundred years (McBirney and Williams, 1969). An eruption of uncertain nature was reported in 1928 (Catalog of Active Volcanoes of the World).
