I had received some incredulous correspondence about my first map of Tokyo. Kevin was doubtful, as well as intrigued, by the possibilities that my map presented. Anyway, Kevin decided to visit and see for himself. While waiting for him to arrive, I completed Rio de Janeiro and Mongolia, both of which provided opportunities to handle problems common to cartographers. The Rio map became a test case for complex typesetting and the Mongolia map tested contouring and hydrography. I asked Kevin to proofread the Rio map but he was reluctant as it would have taken several weeks to do so using traditional methods. He was amazed that we edited about 1,800 streets in two hours. Kevin then began to prepare to do this map. Unfortunately, Kevin fell critically ill and died before he could try this new technology. In my short time with Kevin, I was impressed with his knowledge and in reading his correspondence realized he was admired by those who used his products and expertise. I dedicate this map to Kevin Healey. A.W.

More than 350 brood above fertile slopes or petrified lava fields, most no more than dark extinct mounds or overgrown cones no longer a threat to the lives of surrounding populations. Some have reared up and returned to slumber in relatively recent times, perhaps emitting a waft of steam occasionally to reinforce their uncertain status. But at least twenty of the Isthmus’ volcanoes are presently classified as ‘active’, and many hot sulphur springs and geothermal fields along Highway CA-1, combined with the daily earth tremors to which Central America is prone, leave no doubt about the continuous seismic activity going on beneath the green valleys, dramatic lava rock formations, lofty caldera lakes and teeming cities of the region. One of the best recorded life histories of a volcano is that of Izalco, one of a clutch south of Santa Ana, El Salvador. On 23 February 1770, the earth began rumbling and shaking; terrified villagers watched the ground spew out ash and molten lava which in time grew into a 6000-foot mountain. For 187 years Izalco erupted almost continuously, its displays so regular and visible far out to sea that it became known as the “Lighthouse of the Pacific”. Construction of a hotel at neighbouring Cerro Verde, designed to allow the jet set to view the awesome spectacle in comfort, was almost complete in 1957 when Izalco abruptly ceased activity. Apart from a minor eruption in 1961, the volcano has shown no further life. Only a ragged wisp of smoke now curls from the crater at irregular intervals, proof that the volcanoes of the Pacific Rim come with no guarantee of good behaviour! The most accessible active volcanoes are: COSTA RICA — Poás, with its sides wreathed in an enchanted cloud forest and Arenal, the most spectacular of them all, especially at night when glowing lava bounces down the slopes accompanied by crashes and deep rumblings (“like someone moving furniture upstairs”); NICARAGUA — Santiago or Masaya, whose crater collapsed in 1986 poisoning the soil as far as the coast; activity now is intermittent; GUATEMALA — Pacaya, which can be viewed from the dormant crater adjacent to it and Fuego, a stiff day’s climb but with the reward of some colourful fireworks. Great care and common sense should be exercised when climbing active volcanoes; Arenal in particular has an impressive number of lives to its score! K.H.

Today the mostly paved network extends for 24,000 km from Fairbanks, Alaska to Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego—one of the world’s greatest road systems running through an unequaled cross-section of geography, climate and humanity. The backbone of Central America’s share of the Inter-American Highway—CA-1—stretches 2460 km (1530 miles) from the Mexican border at La Mesilla to Panama City, directly connecting all the region’s capital cities except Belmopan and Tegucigalpa; it is fully paved but some sectors are in a sadly deteriorated condition. The highway continues a further 60 paved kilometres to Chepo, then as 224 km of marginal gravel to its present end at Yaviza, the goal of linking with Columbia having so far been thwarted by the rugged terrain of the Darién ‘Gap’ and international environmental pressure. CA-1 reaches its highest altitude (3670m) as it passes over the bleak ridge (shining white with early-morning frosts) between Nahualá and San Cristóbal Totonicapán, Guatemala, a section aptly known as ‘Alaska’. It again lifts fog-shrouded heights near Villa Mills, Costa Rica, as it crosses the Continental Divide at 3490m between Cartago and San Isidro de El General—a far cry from the sweltering coastal plains of El Salvador and Panamá.

Internationales Grenzen Fronteras internacionales Staats und Provinzgrenzen Limites estatales y provinciales Espiritu Santo 65 San Lorenzo te LAGO DE NICARAGUA: Largest in Central America (8157 km2), Lake Nicaragua contains about 400 islands of all sizes, abundant bird life and a number of unique aquatic species, including rarelysighted freshwater sharks, tarpon and sawfish; these and others are believed to have evolved when the lake was cut off from the Pacific by volcanic upheaval. The largest island, Ometepe, is a joining of two smaller ones by lava flows from still active Volcán Concepción; a wide variety of crops are raised in the exceptionally rich soil. In the southeastern corner of the lake is the scattered Solentiname Archipelago, home to many poets, craftsmen and an established school of primitive painting. Only the Río San Juan flows out of the lake, a thickly-forested and well-traveled route to the Caribbean which has long featured in plans for a new Trans-Isthmus Canal. Foreign pirates intent on attacking Granada and León used it extensively in colonial times, prompting the Spaniards to build the recently-restored Castillo de la Concepción in 1672; many stormy battles were fought here—perhaps the grimmest in 1762 when a 2000-strong force under Henry Morgan was repelled by the fortress’ powerful guns— culminating in British capture and five-month occupation in 1780 under the young Captain Horatio Nelson, who lost his eye during this engagement.

Most recent in a long series of natural catastrophes affecting western Nicaragua was the earthquake of December 1972, which flattened Managua and killed at least 18,000 people; rebuilding has been retarded by the lack of funds and the urgent demands of the recent civil war. Within the city limits is one of Central America’s most unusual ‘archaeological sites; the Huellas (“Footsteps”) de Acahualinca. Beautifully preserved tufa are the 7000–9000-year-old footprints of at least 17 prehistoric humans, crisscrossed by those of animals (including extinct bison). Were they fleeing a volcanic eruption? The women’s footprints sank deeper into the mud than those of the men; were they carrying children or worldly possessions? The questions thrown up by this poignant glimpse into the distant past remain unanswerable.

Holy Week ceremonies here are particularly impressive. While in the slow process of recovering from damage caused during the 1978-79 Revolution, León received a further blow on 9 April 1992 when nearby Volcán Cerro Negro dumped a choking layer of ash and sand on the region; many buildings collapsed under the weight, leaving hundreds homeless.

These heavily-forested tropical lowlands, stretching well into eastern Honduras, were never colonized by Spain but were instead annexed by Britain in 1687 as the Miskito Kingdom at the request of Miskito Indian leaders; their ‘Kings’ were crowned with due pomp in the Protestant ‘cathedral’ at Bluefields. Legacies of this 200-year Protectorate endure still in the architecture, the wide spread use of English and the presence of many black Creoles originally brought over from the Caribbean islands. (During the Civil War, Lincoln offered the newly-emancipated blacks a homeland of their own in eastern Nicaragua: the proposal was rejected.) Although the Caribbean coast is a Laguna paradise of dazzling beaches and idyllic offshore cays, and the jungle teams with undisturbed wildlife, Bismuna only a few hardy travelers reach this part of Central America—indeed, outsiders are banned from many areas, such as mining settlements around Bonanza and Siuna. Only one road leads east into Barra de Tukru Mosquitía: the paved road to the small settlement of Rama, from where most visitors take the famous “Bluefields Express”—an overcrowded riverboat—96 km down the Río Escondido to the Caribbean Bismuna Tara port of Bluefields (named for 17th century Dutch pirate Abraham Blaauwveld). Both towns were severely damaged by Hurricane Joan in 1988 but are steadily being rebuilt. From here the offshore “Corn Islands” (Islas del Maiz) are accessible: two English-speaking islands of white sand and palms, fringed by white coral and crystal water…the perfect Caribbean retreat!
