Pular, Stratovolcano in Antofagasta Region, Chile.

The Pular stratovolcano reaches an elevation of 6,064 meters and forms a volcanic ridge extending across 12 kilometers of the Andes mountains.

The older section of Pular dates back 3.9 million years, while its younger volcanic domes emerged approximately 1.8 million years ago.

The name Pular originates from the Kunza language meaning 'The Eyebrow', reflecting its presence in the regional indigenous heritage.

The southeast slopes contain six glacier systems and temporary lakes from snowmelt, requiring specialized equipment and guidance for exploration.

The volcanic structure creates a natural watershed between the Salar de Atacama basin and the Salar de Pular basin.
