Benchmarking Time: Santiaguito Volcano Observatory, Guatemala
Posted by Jessica Ball
This week’s benchmark is another USGS one – this time in one of my favorite places, the Santiaguito Volcano Observatory in Guatemala!
Like the Fish Lake benchmark I posted recently, this one is also missing an elevation, but that’s not a problem because the OVSAN observers have been kind enough to record their elevation on the side of the observatory building.
A lot of scientists pass through the observatory, so it’s nice for them to have their own benchmark.
Interesting that this benchmark is near a volcano.
I wonder if the elevation rises and falls over time?
