No final de setembro de 1957, o mar ao largo da Ponta dos Capelinhos come\u00e7ou a ferver e, durante treze meses, uma erup\u00e7\u00e3o fez crescer um novo cone onde antes havia mar aberto, transformando esta zona da ilha ainda em mem\u00f3ria viva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Treze meses de fogo e cinzas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A erup\u00e7\u00e3o decorreu de setembro de 1957 a outubro de 1958, cobrindo de cinzas as freguesias da costa ocidental, acrescentando alguns quil\u00f3metros quadrados de nova terra \u00e0 ilha e soterrando at\u00e9 meio o antigo farol dos Capelinhos. Os sismos que a acompanharam esvaziaram aldeias e levaram muitas fam\u00edlias a emigrar; o acontecimento ficou profundamente marcado na mem\u00f3ria a\u00e7oriana. Hoje, o local est\u00e1 tranquilo: caminhos atravessam os campos de cinzas, o farol em ru\u00ednas serve de refer\u00eancia e, nas proximidades, um centro de interpreta\u00e7\u00e3o constru\u00eddo na encosta conta a hist\u00f3ria da erup\u00e7\u00e3o e dos vulc\u00f5es do <a href=\"https:\/\/realdreams.pt\/pt\/a-visitar\/regioes-portugal\/acores-azores-islands\/ilha-faial\/\">Ilha Faial<\/a>, cujo verde <a href=\"https:\/\/realdreams.pt\/pt\/a-visitar\/regioes-portugal\/acores-azores-islands\/caldeira-do-faial\/\">Caldeira do Faial<\/a> se ergue no centro da ilha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">O que ver<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Os campos de cinzas e o novo cone vulc\u00e2nico<\/li>\n\n\n<li>O farol dos Capelinhos em ru\u00ednas<\/li>\n\n\n<li>O Centro de Interpreta\u00e7\u00e3o do Vulc\u00e3o dos Capelinhos<\/li>\n\n\n<li>O contraste entre o oeste cinzento e o verde da ilha<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Os caminhos no alto das fal\u00e9sias do trilho Costa a Costa<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Informa\u00e7\u00f5es pr\u00e1ticas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">O vulc\u00e3o fica na Ponta dos Capelinhos, na costa ocidental do Faial, a meia hora de carro da cidade da Horta pela estrada principal da ilha.
