* Volcano Galeras (4,276 m), a stratovolcano with a large breached caldera
located immediately west of the city of Pasto, is one of Colombia's most
frequently active volcanoes. The dominantly andesitic Galeras volcanic complex
has been active for more than 1 million years, and two major caldera collapse
eruptions took place during the late Pleistocene. Long-term extensive
hydrothermal alteration has affected the volcano. This has contributed to
large-scale edifice collapse that has occurred on at least three occasions,
producing debris avalanches that swept to the west and left a large
horseshoe-shaped caldera inside which the modern cone has been constructed.
Major explosive eruptions since the mid Holocene have produced widespread tephra
deposits and pyroclastic flows that swept all but the southern flanks. A central
cone slightly lower than the caldera rim has been the site of numerous
small-to-moderate historical eruptions since the time of the Spanish
conquistadors.
