Volcan Baru lahar

The picture on the left is the lahar being eroded by the river with the volcano in the background. The image on the right is a picture of the bottom of trees that were buried by the lahar and date to about 1000 years ago.

The rim of the caldera appears to be breached by a lahar.  Ground truth verifies that it is a lahar and their are "islands" of what appear to be parts of the caldera in the lahar.
