Virtual Altiplano Bolivia

The Volcano World team ventured once again into the altiplano of South America in October and November of 2010.  This time we explored southwestern Bolivia and studied three large ignimbrite systems: Guacha, Laguna Colorada, and Pastos Grandes.  Join us on our trip by clicking the links to the right!

 


 

 

This year's Volcano World team includes Dr. Shan de Silva, Jason Kaiser, Jamie Kern, and Rodrigo Iriarte, all from Oregon State University.
