Lautaro, Stratovolcano in Southern Patagonian Ice Field, Chile
The Lautaro volcano rises 2,400 meters above the ice cap plateau, with its summit reaching an elevation of 3,607 meters above sea level.
First identified as a volcano in 1879, the mountain received its current name in 1961, replacing its original designation as Volcán de Los Gigantes.
The volcano bears the name of a 16th-century Mapuche military leader who organized resistance against Spanish colonization in the region.
Reaching the volcano requires advanced mountaineering skills due to its location within glacial fields and exposure to extreme Patagonian weather conditions.
The edifice spans 150 square kilometers, with 90 percent of its surface covered in ice, making it the southernmost active volcano in the Andes.
