San Miguel (Volcán de San Miguel)

The third one in Top 10 Highest Mountains in El Salvador that Toplist would like to introduce to you is San Miguel. San Miguel or Volcán de San Miguel (also known as Volcán Chaparrastique) is a stratovolcano located in central-eastern El Salvador, 15 kilometers (9.3 miles) southwest of San Miguel. Volcán de San Miguel's coordinates are 13°25′54′′N 88°16′17′′W. A brief eruption of steam, gas, and ash from the summit crater occurred on January 16, 2002, lasting 3 hours but inflicting no major damage to life or property. Carbon dioxide emissions had been tracked since November 2001, and they had been steadily increasing until the eruption.

On December 29, 2013, at 10:30 a.m. local time, Volcán de San Miguel erupted, spewing ash and smoke into the sky and forcing the evacuation of thousands of people living within a 3 km (1.9 mi) radius of the volcano. This volcanic eroption began at 06:30 local time and it was preceded and triggered by heightened seismic activity.
