description Isluga fumaroles Overview

Isluga fumaroles are persistent volcanic gas vents on Volcán Isluga, a stratovolcano in the Central Andes of northern Chile. The vents are concentrated in the active crater, with two major fumaroles on the southern flank below the crater rim, and they produce a plume that can rise several hundred metres above the summit. Increased fumarolic activity, sulfur odor, underground noises and low-intensity seismicity were reported during unrest in 2003; the last confirmed eruption was in 1913.

help Isluga fumaroles FAQ

Where are the Isluga fumaroles?

The Isluga fumaroles are on Volcán Isluga, a stratovolcano in the Central Andes of northern Chile. Most vents are concentrated in the active crater, with two major fumaroles on the southern flank below the crater rim.

What do the Isluga fumaroles produce?

They release volcanic gases that rise as a visible plume. The vents are persistent features of Volcán Isluga's active crater and southern flank.

Is Volcán Isluga a volcano?

Yes. Volcán Isluga is a stratovolcano in northern Chile, and its fumaroles are surface expressions of continuing volcanic heat and gas release.

Are the Isluga fumaroles inside the crater?

Many of the vents are concentrated in the active crater, but two major fumaroles are located on the southern flank below the crater rim. This gives the fumarole field both crater and flank features.
