Geological summary
Volcán Huequi is a small, glacier-free lava-dome complex in the center of the Huequi Peninsula in Ancud Bay. The basaltic andesite to dacitic volcano consists of a complex of lava domes within an arcuate collapse depression with debris-avalanche deposits extending to the NW. Explosive eruptions were recorded during the 19th and 20th centuries, initially in 1890 and most recently in about 1920.
