Dona Juana

Dona Juana is a stratovolcano in South America Volcanic Regions, Colombia, rising to 4,137 m. Its most recent recorded eruption was in 1906.

About Dona Juana

The forested Doña Juana stratovolcano contains two calderas, breached to the NE and SW. The summit of the andesitic-dacitic volcano is comprised of a series of post-caldera lava domes. The older caldera, open to the NE, formed during the mid-Holocene, accompanied by voluminous pyroclastic flows. The younger caldera contains the active central cone. The only historical activity took place during a long-term eruption from 1897-1906, when growth of a summit lava dome was accompanied by major pyroclastic flows.
