Active fumaroles, however, mark the summit crater of NevadosOjosdelSalado, 267 km to the south and 148 m higher than Llullaillaco.
The youthful nature of NevadosOjosdelSalado suggests that its lack of historical eruptions stems only from its remote location, and it is rightfully the world's highest volcano.
NevadosOjosdelSaladovolcano on the Chile/Argentina border is the world's highest volcano above sea level, but it rises only about 2,000 m above its base.

The world's highest volcano, NevadosOjosdelSalado rises to 6,887 m along the Chile-Argentina border.
The most recent eruptive activity of NevadosOjosdelSalado appears to have originated along a NNE-trending rift along the summit complex.

The world's highest active volcano, NevadosOjosdelSalado, rises to 6887 m along the Chile-Argentina border.
The most recent eruptive activity of OjosdelSalado appears to have originated along a NNE-trending rift along the summit complex.
No confirmed historical eruptions of OjosdelSalado have been recorded, but the volcano has displayed persistent fumarolic activity, and there was an unconfirmed report of minor gas-and-ash emission in 1993.
In particular, some newer references state that OjosdelSalado'selevation is only 22520 ft (6864 m), which would make Monte Pissis the highest volcano in the world (and the second highest peak in South America).
There are several scattered volcanic centers located in Tibet and western China which lie at elevations of 17700-19000 ft (5400-5800 m), potentially placing some of them in contention for the honor of highest volcano in Asia over Iran's Damavand.
Despite this fact, many volcanological books and references group them with Europe instead of Africa because they are controlled by Spain, thus listing Pico del Teide as the second highest volcano in Europe.
The mountains in northern Chile, to which the Altiplano, a high altitude plateau (average at 4000 m) that goes from the Peruvian border down to the area of OjosdelSaladovolcano, belongs to, are mainly volcanoes sorrounded by salt lakes and steppe.
The Central Andes is the name given in Chile to the region of the Andes of Chile and Argentina located between La Serena in Chile (Región de Coquimbo) or San Juan in Arg.
on the north and Talca on the south (Región del Maule).

Tres Cruces OjosdelSalado and Incahuasi from the high camp on Pissis, 2005 Puna de Atacama expedition.
We're returning to the Puna de Atacama in January 2007 to make ascents of a variety of 6500m+ peaks which were first climbed over 500 years ago by the Incas including Incahuasi.
Our new itinerary the Colombia Climber combines ascents of a couple of easy Colombian volcanoes in the Los Nevadosrange with a great trek and some more climbing in the remote Sierra Nevada del Cocuy.
As mudflows sweep down the steep sides of composite volcanoes, they have the strength and speed to flatten or bury everything in their paths.
Hot ash and pyroclastic flows from the eruption of the Nevadodel Ruiz Volcano in Colombia, South America, melted snow and ice atop the 5,390-m-high Andean peak; the ensuing mudflows buried the city of Armero, killing 25,000 people.
Subduction of the eastern Pacific's Nazca Plate beneath South America has produced one of the Earth's highest mountain ranges, and its highest volcanoNevadosOjosdelSalado (Argentina).
