Nevado Tres Cruces Central, Stratovolcano in Atacama Region, Chile

Located at an elevation of 6,629 meters in the Andes Mountains, Nevado Tres Cruces Central features a one-kilometer-wide crater at its summit.

The first successful ascent of the volcano occurred on February 26, 1937, when Polish mountaineers Stefan Osiecki and Witold Paryski reached the peak.

The mountain's name reflects the regional Spanish language traditions, with 'Nevado' referring to snow-covered peaks in the Andes mountain range.

The mountain sits 23.5 kilometers west of Nevado Ojos del Salado, requiring climbers to prepare extensively for high-altitude conditions above 6,000 meters.

The last volcanic activity occurred 28,000 years ago, with the mountain remaining the second-highest peak located entirely within Chilean territory.
