Sintesi geologica
Volcán Hornopirén, located SSW of Yate volcano, is a morphologically youthful basaltic andesite stratovolcano that is mostly forested. The volcano, whose name means "snow oven," lies along a graben defined by the major regional Liquiñe-Ofqui fault zone, N of the Hornopirén strait and immediately S of Lago Cabrera. Prominent lava flows descend beyond the SW base of the volcano and overlie the graben floor. The volcano was said to be in eruption in 1835, although no details are known.

Riassunto in ingleseHornopirén is a stratovolcano located in the Andes, in Los Lagos Region of Chile, south of Yate Volcano and east of Apagado or Hualiaque pyroclastic cone. Hornopirén lies on the major regional Liquine-Ofqui Fault. The volcano is said to have erupted in 1835, although no details are known. The name of the volcano derives from the Spanish word for oven, horno and the native Mapudungun word for snow pirén, thus Hornopirén means snow oven.
