Monte Burney, Stratovolcano in Southern Patagonia, Chile.

Monte Burney is a 1,758-metre stratovolcano on the western rim of a 6-kilometre-wide caldera on the Muñoz Gamero Peninsula. Its summit holds a smaller caldera with a crescent of rock spires and a steep northern wall, and an ice cap feeds a glacier between 688 and 1,123 metres in altitude.

Monte Burney is named after James Burney, a companion of James Cook. The English place names of this part of Chile come from expeditions such as those of Robert FitzRoy and Phillip Parker King in 1825–1830. The mountain was first ascended in March 1973 by Eric Shipton, Roger Perry and Peter Radcliffe.

The volcano's name honours James Burney, who sailed with James Cook; many English place names in the region come from expeditions such as those of Robert FitzRoy and Phillip Parker King in 1825–1830. The 7,750-year-old eruption of Cerro Hudson, which spread tephra over Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego, probably caused a major depopulation of Tierra del Fuego and the temporary disappearance of long-range obsidian trade.

Reaching this volcano requires specialized climbing gear and careful planning since the area lacks trails and established facilities. Weather conditions change rapidly in this region, so visitors need to be prepared for sudden shifts.

The first ascent was made in March 1973 by Eric Shipton, Roger Perry and Peter Radcliffe. Shipton had earlier explored the same Patagonian fjords with the 1958-59 expedition that crossed the Southern Patagonian Ice Field.
