It lies about 15 km east of Chaitén volcano, and was extensively covered in ash during the 2008 eruption of Chaitén.[2] The stratovolcano lies above the regional Liquine-Ofqui Fault zone, and the ice-covered massif towers over the south portion of Pumalín Park. It has a summit elevation of 2,450 meters above sea level.
