Cordón Caulle eruption edit

Latest comment: 17 years ago4 comments3 people in discussion

According to Global Volcanism Program, "major eruptions in 1921-22 and 1960 sometimes attributed to Puyehue took place from Cordón Caulle volcano immediately to the NW". Other reliable sources confirm it. The image of Cordón Caulle eruption goes from the following page: [1] which ratifies the GVP text, nevertheless on another NOAA page [2], Puyehue is indicated as the volcano erupting. Maybe GVP information is relatively recent. Jespinos 02:59, 16 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Cordon Caulle is very close to the main crater of Puyehue, and I think it should be considered a part of Volcán Puyehue, at least until there is enought information to made a new article or it is confirmed that it's not a kind of parasitic feature, and it is it probably. Due to the short distance thay should share the same magma chamber.

The correct information is not recent, NOAA just didn't fact-check when they captioned the image; I'll look into having them fix it. As far as Dentren's unresearched opinion about sharing a magma chamber: "Although Cordón Caulle is sometimes listed as part of Puyehue volcano, it is tectonically and magmatically distinct from Puyehue (Moreno 1985, pers. comm.) and is strongly controlled by pre-Andean basement structures."[3] Hugo Moreno is a highly respected Chilean volcanologist.

BTW wrong caption, the volcano visible in the image shown here is not Miñiques, but Chiliques. Jespinos 21:44, 23 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
