Chilean Volcanoes
Image taken 5/15/1999

On the border between Chile and the Catamarca province of Argentina lies a vast field of currently dormant volcanoes. Over time, these volcanoes have laid down a crust of magma roughly 2 miles (3.5 km) thick. It is tinged with a patina of various colors that can indicate both the age and mineral content of the original lava flows.

 

These volcanoes can be found on Landsat 7 WRS Path 233 Row 78, center: -26.00, -100.52.

Volcanoes scattered around mountainous area.
