description Sabancaya crater fumaroles Overview
The Sabancaya crater fumaroles are gas-emitting vents at the summit of Sabancaya, an active stratovolcano in the Andes of southern Peru. They release volcanic gases and steam from the crater area, providing visible evidence of the magma-driven hydrothermal system below. Sabancaya entered a phase of persistent eruptive activity in November 2016, and observations of its gas emissions form part of ongoing volcanic monitoring.
