Izalco Volcano El Salvador

Izalco Volcano is located in western El Salvador and is a national icon. Izalco erupted almost continuously from 1770 (when it formed) to 1958 earning it the nickname of "Lighthouse of the Pacific". The volcano was featured on the 10 colón bank note when in circulation. I came across this wonderful video which offers a close look at this natural wonder.
