Reclus Volcano — Chile

Reclus, the source of several Patagonian Holocene tephra layers, was recognized to be an independent volcanic edifice in 1987. The volcano consists of a large dacitic pyroclastic cone with a crater about 1 km in diameter. As many as six tephra layers overlie a peat layer dated at 3,780 years before present. Research has also revealed evidence for eruptions in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
