Santa Ana Volcano Live

A Towering Sentinel

Santa Ana Volcano, known locally as Ilamatepec, rises over 2,300 meters as the highest peak in El Salvador. Its steep flanks are draped in dense vegetation that gives way to a rugged, exposed summit.

An Active Stratovolcano

Part of the Central American Volcanic Arc, this stratovolcano holds a striking turquoise crater lake and remains under continuous observation for volcanic activity. Sulfurous gases and steam often drift from its upper slopes.

Environmental Monitoring

Operated by El Salvador's Ministry of Environment, this camera supports ongoing surveillance of the volcano's condition, helping track changes in its behavior for public safety and scientific research.
