Mate Grande
Volcano in southern Chile
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mate Grande is a volcanic caldera in Aysén Region, southern Chile.[2] The volcano was discovered by geologists of the University of Chile and the discovery announced in 2021.[1][2] It lies along the Liquiñe-Ofqui Fault.[2] The volcano received the name Mate Grande in honor of the mate drink that is popular in southern Chile.[2] Mate Grande hosts rocks that cooled from lava less than five thousand years old and is thus considered an active volcano. The diameter of caldera is about 5 km.[2]
