Ojos del Salado - Volcano

 

Ojos del Salado

Where is it:

This is a volcano in the Andes on the Argentina-Chile border.

What's special about it:

It is the highest active volcano on planet earth

When did it last erupt? What was the damage: 750 CE or about 1000 - 1500 years ago. The damage may be unknown since it was so long ago but I would predict that it would have burnt many trees, plants, land, and animals in the area.

Although this volcano is active isn't expected to erupt any time soon since it has been known as historically active since its last eruption was soo long ago.

In 1896, 1897, and 1903 the Chile-Argentina boundary commission identified a peak in the area and named it Ojos del Salado, according to a myth their Ojos del Salado was a much smaller mountain and the actual Ojos del Salado was their peak. The Polish climbers Justin Wojsznis, Stefan Osiecki, Witold Paryski, Jan Szczepański reached the summit on February 26, 1937, and left a cairn but most of the maps and reports they drafted were lost during World War II.

This shows that it may have been smaller but then may have gotten even bigger than it was.
