		Ojos del Salado is located along the Chilean-Argentine border in the Puna de Atacama, approximately 640 kilometres north of Aconcagua.
		In 1956, during the height of the debate over Aconcagua versus Ojos del Salado, Eduardo E. Baglietto of the University of Buenos Aires decided to determine the exact altitude of Aconcagua during a geodetic survey of the Central Andes.
		Ojos del Salado was determined to be 6 900 metres (22,637 ft) above the sea level, and Aconcagua was determined to be 6 962 metres (22,841 ft) above sea level, with a possible error of plus/minus five metres.

	Nevado Ojos del Salado (Chile)
		Nevado Ojos del Salado on the crest of the Andes Mountains between Chile and Argentina, at 22,600', is the second highest mountain in the western hemisphere - just 200' lower than Cerro Aconcagua in Argentina.
		Ojos is located in the heart of the driest desert in the world, it is not very technical, it is accessible by 4-wheel drive vehicle to the amazing elevation of 17,000', and there are good refuges at 17,000' and 19,400' so the summit can be done as a day hike from the upper refuge.
		Ojos was obvious in the distance but did not really dominate since there were plenty of other high mountains with large snow fields throughout the area.

		A comienzos del 2003 fue consultado a este respecto por Darío Bracali, quien preparaba una guía de ascensos a esta montaña y quien, habiendo estado en la cima de ambos torreones, opinaba que era más alto el Oeste.
		Del cambio de opiniones que siguió se concluyó que la única forma de determinar con rigor científico su altura relativa, y así dar un final definitivo a la controversia, era hacer las mediciones in situ con un equialtímetro o nivel óptico y una mira.
		A través del lente del nivel se puede observar la superposición entre su retícula y un punto de la mira, la cual se debe colocar a cierta distancia.

		Regardless of its exact elevation, Ojos remains king of the Puna, partly out of mystique, partly due to the easy climbing access (as compared to rival Puna peaks like Pissis), and mostly because all surveys do agree on one thing: Ojos is the highest active volcano on the planet.
		The name ’Ojos del Salado’ should be loosely translated from Spanish to mean ’Source of the Salt River.’ Due to its massive height, Ojos routinely pulls any moisture from its surrounding atmosphere.
		Ojos has twin summits, which differ in height by less than three feet, as well as a detached southwest summit that is much lower.
