Recent eruptions from Capelo fissure zone have produced a chain of cinder cones and associated lava flows (Zanon et al. 2013). From east to west, 15 volcanic cones are observed and well exposed: Cabeço dos Trinta, Lagoa, Cabeço Verde, Cabeço do Fogo, Cabeço do Garcia, the twin cones of Cabeços dos Caldeirões, Cabeço do Manuel Gato, Cabeço do Picarito, Cabeço Verde W or do Capelo, Caldeirão, Cabeço do Canto, Vigia, Costado da Nau (or Cabeço dos Concheiros), and Capelinhos over a 7km length.
