Hi. I was wondering if you could give me all the information you know about a volcano in Chile called Volcan Quetrupillan. I would really appreciate it.

Dear Matt,

Quetrupillan is a caldera about (600 km) south of Santiago. It has had only one eruption in historic time. In 1872, a phreatic eruption had a VEI of about 2.
