Cay, Dormant stratovolcano in Aysén del General Carlos Ibáñez del Campo Region, Chile.

Cay volcano reaches an elevation of 2,090 meters and features multiple parasitic cones on its southwestern flank below 1,000 meters altitude.

The volcano formed at the intersection of northwest-southeast and northeast-southwest faults within the Liquiñe-Ofqui Fault Zone of the Andes mountain range.

Local mountaineering groups maintain records of geological activities and changes in the volcanic structure through regular documentation and research expeditions.

Access to the volcano requires specialized transportation and guidance through the remote Aysén region, located 230 kilometers from the Chile Trench.

The geological composition of Cay includes both basalt and dacite formations, with no recorded volcanic activity during the Holocene period.
