Fueguino

Fueguino, also known as Cook, is a cluster of lava domes and pyroclastic cones located on Cook Island, Tierra del Fuego, Chile. This volcanic group lies south of the Magallanes–Fagnano Fault, on the Scotia Plate.^[1] This volcanic system has erupted relatively silicic hornblende andesites and dacites with SiO₂ contents of 59-66% and it is not considered to be a source of Holocene tephra in Tierra del Fuego unlike other volcanoes such as Mount Hudson and Monte Burney.^[2]
