Cerro Quinquilil

Cerro Quinquilil, extinct volcano in La Araucanía, Chile

Cerro Quinquilil is a steep extinct stratovolcano in Villarrica National Park, in Chile's Cautín province, La Araucanía region. Its summit reaches 1,667 m above sea level, and its base is 5.3 km wide. The rocks are Pleistocene olivine basalt, and the cone stands in a chain with Villarrica, Quetrupillán and Lanín.

Cerro Quinquilil is an extinct stratovolcano whose rocks date from the Pleistocene and consist mainly of olivine basalt. It belongs to the same volcanic chain as Villarrica, Quetrupillán and Lanín, and lies within Villarrica National Park. Its summit reaches 1,667 m above sea level, with a base about 5.3 km wide.

The name probably derives from Mapuche quinque, a sedge of the genus Uncina, and lil, rock, meaning "rock with quinques". The volcano is also called Cerro Kinkilil or Colmillo del Diablo. It lies within Villarrica National Park, alongside Villarrica, Quetrupillán and Lanín.

The summit stands at 1,667 m according to the Spanish Wikipedia, while the Swedish entry gives 2,075 m, so treat the elevation as uncertain. The area is very sparsely populated, about six inhabitants per square kilometre, and the wettest month is June with roughly 227 mm of rain. February is the warmest month, averaging 14 °C, while June averages –4 °C.

Its Mapuche name probably combines quinque, a sedge of the genus Uncinia, and lil, rock, meaning "rock with quinques". The volcano is also called Cerro Kinkilil or Colmillo del Diablo, Devil's Fang. Its rocks are Pleistocene olivine basalt, and the base measures 5.3 km across.
