726 m Cerro Negro, Central America's youngest volcano, was born in April 1850 and has been one of the most active volcanoes in Nicaragua. Cerro Negro is the most recent of a group of four very young cinder cones in the central Maribios Range 5 km NW of Las Pilas volcano. Cerro Negro is one of the best-known examples of a cinder cone that has erupted more than once. Its frequent discrete eruptions, separated by long quisecent periods, are in contrast to many other cinder cones, like Paricutin in Mexico, that were formed during a single long-term eruption.
