This slide, taken in December 1949, shows a small steam eruption and a view of the older lava flow on the side of the cone in the foreground. The activity consisted of ejection of cinder showers and bombs with occasional lava flows from the lateral vents. The activity stopped shortly after a hotel was built nearby to accommodate tourists.

Izalco
Izalco is a young stratovolcano on the south flank of Santa Ana Volcano in western El Salvador. Its continuous small explosive eruptions (beginning in 1770) caused it to be known as the "Lighthouse of the Pacific."
