An ash plume rises from Volcan Mirador, a pyroclastic cone that formed during an eruption in 1979.  The Carran-Los Venados volcano group includes about 50 scoria cones, maars, and a small stratovolcano that are broadly aligned along a 17-km-long ENE-WSW trend.  The volcano group occupies a low-lying area north of the Cordón Caulle-Pueyhue volcanic chain.  In addition to the 1979 Mirador scoria cone, two maars, Rininahue and Carran, were formed during eruptions in the 20th century.     Photo by Hugo Moreno, 1979 (University of Chile).
