Global Volcanism Program | Image GVP-10978

The conical, glacier-clad Nevado de Longaví volcano is seen from the SE.  In the foreground is a Holocene block-and-ash flow deposit.  This late-Pleistocene to Holocene andesitic stratovolcano was constructed over a basement of sedimentary and granitic rocks.  A small lava dome forms the 3242-m-high summit of Longaví.  No historical eruptions are known, although fumarolic activity continues.      Photo by José Naranjo, 2001 (Servico Nacional de Geologica y Mineria).
