Ojos Del Salado
Nevado Ojos del Salado is a dormant complex volcano in the Andes on the Argentina–Chile border. It is the highest volcano on Earth and the highest peak in Chile. The upper reaches of Ojos del Salado consist of several overlapping lava domes, lava flows and volcanic craters, with an only sparse ice cover. The complex extends over an area of and its highest summit reaches an altitude of above sea level. Numerous other volcanoes rise around Ojos del Salado. Due to its location near the Arid Diagonal of South America, the mountain has extremely dry conditions, which prevent the formation of glaciers and a permanent snow cover. Despite the arid climate, there is a permanent crater lake about in diameter at an elevation of - within the summit crater and east of the main summit. This is the highest lake of any kind in the world. Owing to its altitude and the desiccated climate, the mountain lacks vegetation. Ojos del Salado was volcanically active during the Pleistocene and Holo ...

Cerro Solo
Cerro Solo is a large stratovolcano on the border between Argentina and Chile, west of Ojos del Salado with an elevation of metres. It consists of nine eruptive centers and is covered in light-colored rhyodacite pyroclastic flow deposits. Its territory is within the Argentinean protection area of Catamarca High Andean and Puna Lakes Ramsar Site. It is located in the territory of the Argentinean province of Catamarca (commune of Fiambalá) and the Chilean province of Copiapo (commune of Copiapó). First Ascent Solo was first climbed by Luis Alvarado, Jorge Balastino, Carlos and Oscar Alvarez (Chile) on 21 February 1950. See also *List of volcanoes in Argentina *List of volcanoes in Chile The Smithsonian Institution's Global Volcanism Program lists 105 volcanoes in Chile that have been active during the Holocene.

Wallatiri
Guallatiri is a high volcano in Chile. It is located southwest of the Nevados de Quimsachata volcanic group and is sometimes considered to be part of that group. It is a stratovolcano with numerous fumaroles around the summit. The summit may be composed of either a lava dome or a pyroclastic cone, while the lower flanks of the volcano are covered by lava flows and lava domes. The volcano's eruptions have produced mostly dacite along with andesite and rhyolite. Guallatiri has been active in historical times with a number of eruptions, the latest in 1960 but a large prehistorical eruption took place 2,600 years ago. Fumarolic and seismic activity is ongoing and has resulted in the deposition of sulfur and other minerals on the volcano. The volcano is covered by an ice cap above elevation that has shrunk and fragmented during the course of the 20th-21st century. Guallatiri, along with several other volcanoes, is part of Lauca National Park and is monitored by SERNAGEOMIN. Name a ...
