Isn't Azufre Spanish for sulfur?
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

27°31.6312', -112°33.7188' for those who want to copy and paste onto Google Earth or see it on a satellite image straight down...
1) Highlight the GPS figure (waypoint).
2) Click the Search Google for ... option.
3) Click on the small map to make it full size.
4) Click on the thumbnail image in the lower corner to see the satellite image.
Unlike the fumarole near Mexicali/ Rio Hardy, there is no visible steam in this satellite image. It is right by the geothermal electric facility. The
gate was open in 2019... so here is a rare look, form ground level. The last photo is in the area of the GPS waypoint:

Yes! Very good... The ground is definitely warm in the area... as the magma lake is not that far down under the volcano complex... Ground water gets
heated and rises as hot springs, fumaroles, or geysers!
Last recorded eruption was in 1746... That's like 'yesterday' in geologic time!
It was recorded on the 1757 Jesuit California Map:

IMO, the Fumarole north of San Felipe is much more impressive than the one down south.
The volcano one is to far away and a very difficult hike to get to it. Thus my far away view.

in some ways that is like yesterday. In others, not like yesterday. We recently experienced an epohk change on the geologic time scale, many
scientists would place 1746 in the Holocene, and we are today in the Anthropocene epoch.
Woke!
Hands off!
