Untitled[edit]

The mountain is somewhat distinct from the island, hence it has a separate article. Warofdreams 16:59, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Redirect[edit]

The name of the mountain in Portuguese is “Pico do Fogo”. Before making a redirect, can anyone prove to me that the name “Mount Fogo” is used in the English language? Ten Islands (talk) 07:32, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As an American living in Praia, Cape Verde, but not on Fogo itself, I can say that most English speakers refer to Pico de Fogo as "the volcano" in English. I have never heard the term "Mount Fogo". 41.221.198.231 (talk) 12:00, 24 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

1847 eruption and earthquakes[edit]

The 1847 eruption is the only event to supposedly cause deaths, however I cannot find sources for this information. The wiki article states the deaths were from earthquakes. Can anyone find sources on the 1847 eruption so that we can add information on eruptions previous to 1995?

Some sources http://www.volcano.si.edu/volcano.cfm?vn=384010 report an eruption in 1909, while others do not. There are no details on this eruption, but the date lies at the cusp of living memory. Did this actually happen? Can it be proven? What are the details of this eruption? Chã das Caldeiras likely does not have anyone living from that time period, though there might be a few people that were alive then as infants. It seems more likely that very old people remember accounts from their parents and grandparents regarding this eruption. This may have been the first eruption since the settlement of Chã das caldeiras, and likely one of the most significant events in the lives of the settlers.

There used to be a graphic showing the lava flow areas of each of the eruptions, but I can't find it online anymore. This would be useful to link to. 41.221.198.231 (talk) 12:24, 24 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
