“When I arrived in Central America, I thought that a complete and thorough study of seismic and volcanic activity could provide data that, if not capable of predicting catastrophe, then at least would be able to estimate the frequency of those horrible disasters that have elevated to first place that part of the active volcanic chain located between the isthmuses of Panama and Tehuantepec.” Montessus de Ballore: Temblores y Erupciones Volcánicas en Centro-América, 1884.
