Viedma

Viedma is a volcano in Chile, 1,500 m high. It last erupted in November 1988.

Elevation: 1,500 m
Type: Subglacial volcano
Last eruption: November 1988

Viedma is a subglacial volcano whose existence is questionable. It is supposedly located below the ice of the Southern Patagonian Ice Field, an area disputed between Argentina and Chile. The 1988 eruption deposited ash and pumice on the ice field and produced a mudflow that reached Viedma Lake. The exact position of the edifice is unclear, both owing to the ice cover and because the candidate position, the "Viedma Nunatak", does not clearly appear to be of volcanic nature.
