The volcano’s most distinctive feature, its nine-kilometre wide caldera, Cha Caldera, is shown in this image. The crater wall in the west towers one kilometre above the crater floor. The eastern half of the crater wall is gone, erased in a massive collapse deep in its ancient history. Evidence of the volcano’s more recent eruptive history is written on the surface of the crater as well. In the centre of the crater, a steep cone named Pico rises about 100 meters above the crater rim (more than a kilometre from the crater floor). The young peak reaches 2,829 meters above sea level, making it the island’s highest point. Dark trails of hardened lava from the volcano's most recent eruptions stream out of the crater east into the Atlantic Ocean. The volcano last erupted in 1995. The sepia stream of lava from that eruption is pooled near the crater rim west of Pico. Remarkably, the crater is inhabited. A straight road cuts between the crater wall and Pico, ending near the vent that erupted in 1995. Bright white dots on the north side of the crater are villages. Residents of the Cha Caldera evacuated during the eruption. · Photo by Jesse Allen Image created using data from instrument EO-1 ALI, provided courtesy of the NASA EO-1 Team. · Public domain · Source: wikimedia

Pedro Brito, widely known as Bubista, has departed from his role as head coach of the Cape Verde national football team after guiding the island nation to a remarkable debut at the FIFA World Cup. On Tuesday, RS Berkane, a leading Moroccan football club and 2025 CAF Confederation Cup winner, announced Bubista's appointment as their new head coach on a two-year deal.

Bubista succeeds Tunisian coach Moïne Chaâbani, who has returned to coach Tunisia's national team following their World Cup campaign. The Cape Verde Football Federation expressed gratitude for Bubista's "dedication, professionalism and contribution" during his tenure.

Under Bubista's leadership, Cape Verde exceeded expectations at the World Cup by opening with a goalless draw against eventual champions Spain, followed by draws against Uruguay and Saudi Arabia. These results secured Cape Verde second place in their group and a spot in the round of 32 against Argentina. Although Argentina advanced with a 3-2 victory after extra time, Cape Verde received widespread praise for their performance. Notably, Sidny Lopes Cabral's dramatic equaliser, which forced extra time, was voted the tournament's best goal.

RS Berkane remains one of Morocco's premier clubs, having lifted the CAF Confederation Cup in 2025.
