TALES FROM THE FIELD A Trip to Mordor
David Abbott, CPG-04570 The volcanic rock part of my undergraduate field course occurred in Guatemala and El Salvador. We hiked in
to the Santiaguito lava dome, which has been growing since 1922 in the crater left by the explosion that blew
out the western third of Volcan Santa Maria in 1902. The first day there was very foggy and clambering around Santiaguito was the closest I (or most of us) will ever come to Mordor. It was foggy and gassy in places (mostly steam with some HCl; I rusted the handle of a new Estwing hammer sitting over a small vent while belaying fellow students down a steep talus slope). The rock was barren and rock spines were forced up by the growing dome. (Unfortunately, most of the photos on the web are from too far away to see these spines and feature instead more “classic”ash eruptions.) The next couple of days were bright and sunny and the feel of the dome was very different. The trip was an excellent exposure to composite cones and volcanic domes.
