List of volcanoes in Chile


This is a list of volcanoes in Chile. The Smithsonian Institution's Global Volcanism Program lists 105 volcanoes in Chile that have been active during the Holocene. SERNAGEOMIN lists 90 active volcanoes in Chile.
The Pacific islands of Chile are of volcanic origin. They have been formed from magma coming from three distinct hotspots, Easter, Juan Fernández and San Felix hotspots. The westernmost part of the ridges formed by these hotspots contain the most recently active volcanoes.
Some volcanoes or groups of volcanoes are under surveillance of OVDAS because of their critical activity or proximity to big cities.
This list does not include Chilean claims in the Antarctic.
