About

Huequi (Spanish pronunciation: [weki]) is a volcano in the Los Lagos Region of Chile. It is in the Southern Volcanic Zone, in the centre of Ayacara Peninsula and close to the Gulf of Ancud. It is made up of a lava dome complex situated in a depression of unclear origin, a postglacial lava dome Calle and a Pleistocene volcano with Holocene parasitic cones, with a sharp summit at 1,318 metres (4, 324 ft). There were reports of eruptions 1890–1920, and it is said to have "smoked" in 1935.
