Northern Chile, Bolivia and Argentina, South America, -23.3°S / -67.62°W Current status: (probably) extinct (0 out of 5)
Typical eruption style: effusive, lava domes
Acamarachi volcano eruptions: none in recent times The volcano contains a poorly preserved summit crater and a large lava dome on the north flank. There are no known lava flows from Holocene times, suggesting the volcano might be extinct. The summit crater contains a lake about 10-15 m in diameter, which is possibly the second highest crater lake in the world. Acamarachi is located very close to Colachi volcano, which is only 6 km NNW, but both volcanoes have independent magma systems. |
