| Abstract: | The 1957–58 eruption of Capelinhos, on Faial, in the Azores, built a new volcano at the west end of the island. Erosion by the sea has subsequently destroyed over two-thirds of this structure and will probably continue to remove much of the rest of the volcano over the next few decades. |
