Description

Chile has some spectacular Volcanoes and many like the nearly perfect cone-shaped Osorno Volcano, are still active. There are several small wonderful towns near Osorno, but the most delightful area surrounding it and the beautiful Lago Llanquihue at its feet on the southwestern side, are the many small, lovely farms.
The native Indian Mapuche name for the Osorno Volcano, Hueñauca, means dangerous heights. This stratovolcano is 2,652-metre (8,701 ft) high and is often compared in shape to Mt. Fuji in Japan. Osorno is one of the most active volcanoes in Chile, with 11 eruptions between 1589 and 1869. This year Servicio Nacional de Geología and Minería (SERNAGEOMIN) Observatorio Volcanológico de Los Andes del Sur (OVDAS) raised the Alert Level for Osorno to Yellow (the second lowest level on a four-color scale) on 8 May, due to a gradual increase in the number and magnitude of seismic events recorded during 1-30 April. Earthquakes were concentrated on the NNW flank. The largest of the 294 total events was a M 3, located 2 km NW of the crater at a depth of 3.3 km. Osorno may be waking up again.
