Monte Burney, Stratovolcano in Southern Patagonia, Chile.
Monte Burney features a 6-kilometer wide caldera with a glacier extending from 688 to 1,123 meters in altitude on its northwestern slopes.
The volcano received its name from James Burney, who accompanied Captain James Cook during his expeditions in the region during the 19th century.
The region contains multiple tephra deposits that provide evidence of prehistoric human settlements and their movements across Southern Patagonia through time.
Visitors require specialized equipment and permits to access this remote location, which lacks established infrastructure and requires extensive preparation.
The first recorded ascent of Monte Burney occurred in March 1973 by mountaineers Eric Shipton, Roger Perry, and Peter Radcliffe.
