About Corcovado
Little is known of this isolated volcano that was seen in eruption by Darwin in 1834, and an eruption was reported to have occurred in November 1835. Corcovado, probably of late-Pleistocene age, is eroded by glaciers and surrounded by Holocene cinder cones. A series of lakes flank the eastern side of the basaltic to basaltic andesite structure. Eruptions in historical time were considered likely from these postglacial volcanoes (Moreno 1985, pers. comm.).
