Cerro Solo

Solo, El

Stratovulcano · Chile-Argentina · 6205 m

Light-colored rhyodacitic pyroclastic-flow deposits blanket El Solo volcano in the Ojos del Salado area. Snow partially mantles the summit of El Solo, a stratovolcano composed of nine eruptive centers located west of Nevados del Ojos de Salado and SE of Tres Cruces volcano. The 6190-m-high El Solo volcano was the source of major pyroclastic-flow deposits erupted during the Holocene that thickly fill adjacent valleys. · Foto: Photo courtesy of Oscar González-Ferrán (University of Chile). · Wikimedia Commons
