The ice-capped, 3164-m-high Callaqui volcano has an elongated profile due to construction along an 11-km-long, SW-NE-trending fissure.  As many as 16 well-preserved volcanic craters, the majority of which are on the SW flank, have erupted along this fissure and produced lava flows that mantle the volcano's flanks.  Two large, ice-filled craters are located at the summit, and intense solfataric activity occurs on the southern side.   Photo by Oscar González-Ferrán (University of Chile).
