See Elafante Hill there _9 & _10 it does look like a vent or volcano.

That is amazing. Thanks.
I wish I knew better what I was looking at.

Now I get it. It sure does!

It sure ain't an ancient pyramid!

Elephante----

It sure looks like a very old cinder cone---------way to eroded to be recent, expecially considering the dry climate. That is one "old" cinder cone.
Fantastic views.
Yes....but the real question here is.....

how fast can one be made??bajalou - 12-1-2006 at 08:27 AM
What height ratio are you using?jorgie - 12-1-2006 at 08:50 AM
sharksbaja; great work, great postjorgie - 12-1-2006 at 08:53 AM
on a heading of 227 degrees, how does it align with the quake location ??Bob H - 12-1-2006 at 12:01 PM
Wow! That was great. And, very interesting indeed.Cypress - 12-1-2006 at 12:09 PM
Talk about a birds-eye view! Thanks. Looks like old cinder cones from here.spike - 12-1-2006 at 03:03 PM
Great work!! Gives a good idea of the layout. Any idea what the buildings are right at the point?
SpikeSharksbaja - 12-1-2006 at 03:29 PM
Nevr been there. Is that Sharis' B&B?
Driving out to the point-----
Barry A. - 12-1-2006 at 03:41 PM
When we were there a couple of years ago, we camped right in town on the cliff tops above the water, facing south. For some reason we never drove, or
walked, out to the point-----I vaguely remember that we were not able???? that it was some restricted area, or something????? But we were really
busy visiting with all the folks that came down to see us, so maybe we just did not take the time. Very friendly town.
This is a really vague memory, so don't trust me. We camped just east of the big seafood packing plant, between some houses.Bruce R Leech - 12-1-2006 at 03:59 PM
that is some cool stuff thanks Sharksbaja
Volcan de las Tres Virgenes

This is a shot of the only "recently active volcano" near Asuncion.

If you click on the volcano it opens. Not sure how I did that.

it's the moon, i was there was after a full night of tequila, it was beautiful.

It looks like these three volcanos line up in a row headed toward the sea?
And I agree with you Shark, the issue is whether a new cone is forming. Shari reported seeing and smelling odd steam. At this very moment Mt St Helens
is going through a building process where magma is pushing up, not the red hot flows seen in Hawaii, but rock formation bulging with "steam" releasing
on an ongoing basis.
Shari mentioned a honeycomb of chambers beneath the area and those could easily become magma chambers or vents. The jury is still out.

Volcanoes and or earthquake?
Sharksbaja - 12-2-2006 at 11:58 AM
I was reading a report from 2002 about the Cascadia fault here in the NW. Instruments recorded hundreds of earthquakes swarming 300 mi off the coast.
They hurriedly dispatched scientists to study the event. It was discovered later that the event triggered geothermal activity in various places
simultaneously.
Some as far as Yellowstone Park. That shows the integration of systems until then unconnected by scientific knowledge.
Now, I would not gamble to say a cinder cone is forming but the potential is obviously there. Further reading suggests that this area is confusing to
scientists studing the Tosco-Abreojos fault. Some are trying to connect the San Andreas fault which runs down the Sea of Cortes and surfaced as Tres
Virgenes.
There is considerable geothermal activity in the region and there is activity at or near the surface in many locations in Baja. One place is close to
San Ignacio. That would indicate that active venting could occur in the whole region. Moreover, I wouldn't stop short of associating this new event
primarily with either fault as they could very well be connected in some fashion.
I still actually think that Tosco-Abreojos is actively fracturing with the San Benito fault. Their off-set location is close to, and perpendicular
to, Pta. Asuncion. Also data shows former important seismic events in that exact area.
That's my opinion.
WOW, cool photos...in the 3rd picture of Asuncion, the big white building at the point is the fishing cooperative plant...our house is the brown
bits(our roof)and white speck to the left and down a bit of the big white buildings out on the rocks there on the other side of the spit
...fascinating stuff
