description Hudson fumaroles Overview
The Hudson fumaroles are gas vents associated with the ice-filled caldera of Hudson Volcano in Chilean Patagonia. They release volcanic gases from beneath or around the ice-covered volcanic depression. Hudson is notable for its major explosive eruption in 1991, one of the largest volcanic eruptions of the twentieth century, and the fumaroles provide evidence that the volcanic system remains active.
