The 2652 metres (8701 feet) high Osorno Volcano has a classic cone, similar in appearance to Mount Fuji. The upper slopes are covered in glaciers, due to the high levels of snowfall in the very moist maritime climate of Southern Chile's Los Lagos Region. The volcano, sitting in the 6 km wide caldera of an older volcano, is known to have erupted 11 times between 1575 and 1869. Charles Darwin, in the 2nd voyage of the Beagle, saw an eruption in January 1835.
