Lautaro volcano is located in southern Chile. The volcano contains a crater just below its summit on the NW side, and a 1km wide crater on the NE flank. Lautaro volcano is the highest peak of the Southern Patagonian Ice-field.
The volcano is deeply glaciated and rises 1000 m from the surrounding terrain. Lautaro is a relatively large stratovolcano for the Chilean Patagonia, and it developed in a relatively short period of time in comparison with Hudson volcano.
Volcanic activity began at Lautaro volcano 170,000 years ago and has continued to the present.
