Fueguino, Volcanic field in Tierra del Fuego, Chile

The Fueguino volcanic field spans across Cook Island and Londonderry Island, featuring multiple lava domes, pyroclastic cones, and a crater lake at 150 meters elevation.

Geological records indicate volcanic activity at Fueguino since 1712, with documented eruptions occurring in 1820 and 1926, leading to its official recognition in 1978.

The Yaghan people of the region incorporated references to a 'world fire' in their oral traditions, possibly connected to Fueguino's volcanic activities.

Access to the volcanic field requires careful planning due to its remote location, cold climate with average temperatures of 5°C, and frequent precipitation patterns.

Fueguino holds the distinction of being the southernmost volcano in the Andes mountain range, positioned at approximately 54°57′S latitude and 70°15′W longitude.

GPS coordinates: -54.97313,-70.27156
