The Capelinhos (from diminutive, which literally means "little cape") is a monogenetic volcano located on the western coast of Faial Island in the Azores. It is part of the larger volcanic complex of Capelo, which includes 20 scoria cones and lava fields that are aligned west-northwest to east-southeast from the Caldeira Volcano caldera. Although the name "Capelinhos" is associated with the volcano, it technically refers to the western cape of the parish of Capelo. It can be considered the westernmost point of Europe; there are more westerly islands in the Azores archipelago but they lie on th

Tambroso is a mountain peak on the Azorian island of Faial. It is located in the civil parish of Ribeirinha, in the municipality of Horta. The mountain, as well as its surrounding land-forms, is geographically close to the volcanic caldera at the center of Faial. The eruptive igneous rocks produced by this caldera forms the base of Tambroso, as well as many other peaks on Faial Island. The whole series of peaks has a maximum elevation at Cabeço Gordo, which is above sea level.
