The genius geologist Sam Bonis visited the MPC today! He's such a great man, and I learned to much about volcanoes and calderas and also, Atitlan.
For example, the volcanoes that are closer to the coast are the more active. You can see with the ashes the "finger print" of the volcano. Guatemala holds earths of the Caribbean, North America and Pacific altogether.
I also didn't know that Lake Atitlán is a caldera, product of an eruption around 85 000 years ago. HA! And the ashes of this eruption are found in Colombia AND the coasts of Florida. CRAZY HUH!? There's a theory that inside the lake there's ANOTHER caldera. What's up with GT?! Haha
AH! And by the way, there's a caldera really near Guatemala City. Thanks Mayans, maybe you were right about December 21st.
