Volcán Nuevo, Active volcano in Patagonia, Chile
The volcano features a five-kilometer-wide caldera located 80 kilometers southwest of Coyhaique city in the Aysen region of Chile.
Geologists from the University of Chile discovered this active volcano in 2015 through helicopter reconnaissance flights and ground expeditions in the region.
The name 'Mate Grande' comes from the traditional mate drinking culture in the Aysen region, as the caldera resembles the shape of a mate gourd.
The volcano remains covered in snow for ten months of the year, making access challenging due to its elevation and the dense Valdivian forest surroundings.
Located on the Liquiñe-Ofqui fault line, the volcano moves between 11.6 to 24.6 millimeters annually, indicating potential future seismic activity.
