(42º49'58"S 72º38'45"W)

The volcanic caldera Chaiten is located in southern Chile near the Gulf of Corcovado.

Chaiten, which had been inactive for 9,500 years, began erupting in May of 2008; almost all inhabitants of the town of Chaitén and nearby villages were evacuated. The seimic and volcanic activity caused lahars, or flows of mud and debris, that in turn caused flooding that destroyed Chaiten. The town is being rebuilt.

Chaiten eruptions produced a translucent grey obsidian (volcanic glass) which was used by pre-Columbian cultures for artifacts.

Mount Chimborazo is an inactive startovolcano in Ecuador.

Chimborazo's distinction is its summit being the furthest from the center of the Earth, all due to the equatorial bulge.

Alexander von Humbolt

(0º40'50"N 78º26'16"W)

Cotopaxi, a stratovolcano in the Andes Mountains, is located just 28 km (17 mi) south of Quito, the capital of Equador.

Part of the chain of volcanoes known as the Pacific Ring of Fire, Cotopaxi is one of the highest active volcano in the world, at 19,347 ft., and has one of the few equatorial glaciers.

The greatest danger of a huge eruption of Cotopaxi would be the flow of ice from its glacier. Eruptions in the 1700s destroyed the colonial town of Latacuga, today the suburban areas of Quito are in the line of danger.

Crater Lake Caldera, Oregon, USA, Photographic Print

(42º56'37"N 122º06'24"W)

Crater Lake Caldera is a lake located in the caldera of the collapsed volcano named Mount Mazama. Crater Lake is located in the Cascade Mountains of Oregon, and is a US national park.

No rivers flowing into or out of the lake; evaporation is compensated for by rain and snowfall at a rate that the total amount of water is replaced every 250 years.

FYI - The Klamath tribe of Native Americans, who may have witnessed the collapse of Mount Mazama and the formation of Crater Lake, have long regarded the lake as a sacred site.
