The "Volcán Chico", so named by the locals, is only a simple crack in the Sierra Negra volcano, located on the outer part of its northern flank. Here occurred three eruptions since the beginning of the 20th century: 1953-1954, 1963 and 1979-1980. The area of the Volcán Chico is located north-west of the main Sierra Negra caldera and is not so much affected by the "garua" (drizzle and fog), which keeps this area in good condition and with generally with a good visibility for shooting. The hike out to Volcán Chico is like a hike through time, where the layers of volcanic rock each speak of a different eruption. (Isabela Island, Galápagos, Ecuador)
