Tronador, Stratovolcano in southern Andes, Chile
Cerro Tronador rises to 3,491 meters with three distinct peaks and multiple glaciers covering its slopes in the border region between Chile and Argentina.
The first recorded ascent of Cerro Tronador occurred on January 29, 1934, when Hermann Claussen reached the summit and spent the night at the peak.
The mountain's name originates from the thunderous sounds produced by falling ice blocks and rock fragments from its seven main glaciers.
Visitors can access the mountain through two routes: from Bariloche via Route 40 in Argentina or from Puerto Montt through Lake Todos los Santos in Chile.
The mountain features the Ventisquero Negro, a black glacier that forms part of the water system feeding into the Manso River and surrounding watersheds.
