Yate
About Yate
Yate volcano is a late Pleistocene, glacially dissected basaltic andesite stratovolcano with Holocene flank vents. One of these flank vents is labeled Volcán Yate on the Volcán Hornopirén 1:50,000 quadrangle map. This isolated feature, NNE of Volcán Hornopirén and S of the Relancaví strait, shows evidence of Holocene eruptions. Elongated, it contains six eruptive centers localized along a NW-trending fissure ~7.5 km long. The most recent activity originated from basaltic andesite pyroclastic cones on the NW and W flanks. No reported eruptions are known, although the fresh morphology of its flank cones suggests recent activity (González-Ferrán, 1995). A non-eruptive landslide in 1965 produced a debris flow that reached Lake Cabrera, causing a tsunami that destroyed a settlement and caused 27 fatalities.
