An elongated lava flow field at La Negrillar is down the center of this 28 April 2019 Planet Scope satellite image (N is at the top; this image is approximately 17 km across). A scoria cone with a crater that opens towards the SE is visible below the center of the image. The field is located along the SW margin of the Atacama basin, W of Socompa volcano.

Resumen geológico

The basaltic andesite La Negrillar cone and lava flow complex (also known as Aguas Perdidas) covers a roughly 50 km2 area along the SW margin of the Atacama basin about 35 km WNW of Socompa volcano between the small Sierra San Juan and Sierra Almeida ranges. It was interpreted to be Holocene by de Silva and Francis (1991), though Gardeweg (1993, pers. comm.) did not consider it to be of Holocene age. Additionally, de Silva (2007, pers. comm.) noted that it was not as youthful looking as the El Negrillar complex to the N, although it did show leveed lava flows and pristine craters.

Resumen de Wikipedia

Resumen en inglés

La Negrillar is a volcanic cone and associated lava flow in Chile. It covers 16 square kilometres (6.2 sq mi) on the southwestern margin of the Atacama basin. It erupted basalts and andesite and its flows and cones are well preserved. Radiometric dating has yielded ages of 1.4 ± 0.5 and 0.54 ± 0.5 million years. It is one of several mafic centres in the region located along fault systems.
