Ipala is a small stratovolcano that extends across the Ipala graben and rises 750 m above the graben floor. Its summit is truncated by a 1-km-wide crater whose steep, 150-m-high walls contain a lake. A prominent cone, Monte Rico, is located on the S flank; it and other cones on the N flank lie along a N-S-trending fracture that continues well beyond the volcano's S flank. The E flank is cut by a 17-km-long, NNE-SSW fissure that produced a line of cinder cones and basaltic lava flows covering about 20 km2. Diaz reported that in 1865 CE Ipala ejected ash from 24 January to June; he listed no source and the report seems improbable (Incer, 1988 unpublished manuscript).
