Resago, Volcan

Cono piroclástico · Chile · 1890 m

The crescent-shaped lake at the top-center of this NASA International Space Station image (with north to the bottom right) is Laguna del Dial.  A cinder cone named Volcán Resago, on the SE side of the lake, produced a basaltic andesite lava flow that traveled about 3 km to the WNW into Laguna Dial.  The youthful cone may have been formed during an undocumented eruption during historical time.  The lake at the lower left is Laguna Valvarco.

Resumen geológico

Volcán Resago, in the Linares province of central Chile, is a cinder cone with a double crater. It produced a basaltic andesite lava flow that traveled ~3 km WNW into Laguna Dial. The youthful cone may have been formed during an undocumented Holocene eruption (González-Ferrán, 1995).

Resumen de Wikipedia

Resago es un cono de cenizas inactivo cuya parte superior termina con dos cráteres, ubicados en la Región del Maule, parte central de Chile, cerca de la frontera con Argentina. Los únicos signos de actividad del Holoceno son dos coladas de lava de andesita basáltica, de 3 km de longitud, ubicados en el lado noroeste del volcán.
