The Cape Verde Islands are located in the mid-Atlantic Ocean some 620 kilometers (385 mi.) off the west coast of Africa. The archipelago consists of 10 islands and 5 islets, divided into the windward (Barlavento) and leeward (Sotavento) groups. The six islands in the Barlavento group are Santo Antão, São Vicente, Santa Luzia, São Nicolau, Sal, and Boa Vista. The islands in the Sotavento group are Maio, Santiago, Fogo, and Brava. All but Santa Luzia are inhabited. Three islandsSal, Boa Vista, and Maiogenerally are level and lack natural water supplies. Mountains higher than 1,280 meters (4,200 ft.) are found on Santiago, Fogo, Santo Antão, and São Nicolau. Sand carried by high winds has caused erosion on all islands, especially the windward ones. Sheer, jagged cliffs rise from the sea on several of the mountainous islands. The lack of natural vegetation in the uplands and coast also contributes to soil erosion. Only the interior valleys support natural vegetation. Rainfall is irregular, historically causing periodic droughts and famines. The average precipitation per year in Praia is 24 centimeters (9.5 in.). During the winter, storms blowing from the Sahara sometimes form dense dust clouds that obscure the sun; however, sunny days are the norm year round.

68. Cape Verde Islands - The BRADT Travel Guide - Fogo
geography The fourth largest island, with an area of 480km2, Fogo s highest point is the Pico de Fogo which Sao Filipe is the third largest town in cape verde.
http://www.caboverde.com/ilhas/fogo/bradt-e.htm
FOGO 'It is all of it one large mountain of a good height, out of the top whereof issues Flames of Fire, yet only discerned in the Night: and then it may be seen a great way at Sea.' William Dampier, 1683 from:
Cape Verde Islands
The BRADT Travel Guide

Aisling Irwing - Colum Wilson with contributions from Simon Day Fogo rises steeply from the ocean, pokes through the clouds and towers above them. From the coast of Santiago or the peaks of Sao Nicolau it is as forbidding as a fortress. Fogo is a volcano, still active, and inside the crater the latest eruption still smokes gently.
Fogo is a menacing place: dark lava flows from centuries of eruptions to reach down its eastern side to the ocean. But it has a soft heart. Amongst the clods of cold lava that have covered much of the floor of the crater are fertile fields. Spilling over its northeast side are woods of eucalyptus and cool valleys in which grow coffee and vines. Inside the crater lives a race of people who have defied government orders to evacuate and instead live and farm below the smouldering peak that last erupted in 1995. HIGHLIGHTS
The crater is a highlight of the archipelago, its drama matched only by the mountains of Santo Antao. Fogo is thus one of the principal hiking islands but it is also fascinating for its anthropology and its natural history. Much of the island's splendour can be reached by vehicle. There are caves to explore and modest swimming but virtually no white beaches and no watersports. The capital is quiet.

Cape Verde: It's People, Geography, and Culture
By Melody Lassalle
The Cape Verde Islands are officially known as Republica de Cabo Verde. The capital is Praia. The islands llie in the Atlantic Ocean, west of Senegal. Cape Verde consists of two island groups, the Barlavento and the Sotavento. The Barlavento group consists of Santo Antao, Sao Vicente, Santa Luzia, Sal, Boa Vista, and Sao Nicolau. The Sotavento group consists of Sao Tiago, Maio, Fogo, and Brava. The terrain is mostly mountainous.
The earliest habitants of Cape Verde were the Portuguese people who came in 1462. Soon after, West African slaves were brought to the islands. Slavery was abolished here in 1876. A penal colony was set up in the islands in the 1500s. Many of the convicts stayed once they completed their sentence. Portugal also sent "undesirables" such as political adversaries, criminals, etc., to the islands.
The population was estimated at 412,137 in 2003. The people of Cape Verde are referred to as Caboverdeans (aka Caboverdeanos and Cape Verdeans). They consist of 3 groups: Creole 71% (a mixture of African and European ancestry), African 28%, and European 1%. Caboverdeans are primarily Roman Catholic with some mingling with African religions. The literacy rate in the islands is one of the highest throughout Africa at 71.6% (1995).
