Fogo
(Portuguese for "fire") is an island in the Sotavento group of Cape Verde. It is defined by its massive active stratovolcano, Pico do Fogo, which stands as the highest point in Cape Verde at 2,829 meters. The island’s landscape is a dramatic contrast of black volcanic soil, rugged craters, and lush greenery in its higher elevations.
