During this period Pico do Fogo National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology, Italy experienced a volcanic eruption (November 23, 2014) that lasted 77 days, from a new vent Reviewed by: ∼2.5 km from the fumaroles. Two fumaroles were sampled, a low (F1∼100°C) and a Pierpaolo Zuddas, medium (F2∼300°C) temperature. The variations observed in the δ18O and δ2H in F1 and Sorbonne Universités, France F2 suggest different fluid source contributions and/or fractionation processes.
