Reclus volcano
Located in southern chile.
The volcano was first recognized as as a volcano in 1987.
It contains a large dacitic cone with a 1 km wide crater.
As many as 6 larger explosive eruptions have occurred in the past 3780 years from this volcano
The volcano is being actively eroded by the Amalia Glacier, which drains off the Patagonian Icecap. Later work revealed evidence for historical eruptions in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
Typical eruption style: explosive
it is being shaped by glacial erosion caused by Amalia Glacier.
"Over the summer, earthquakes began to be felt in towns in the region of the volcano and a potential for new activity from the Reclus has prompted geologists to visit the volcano later this spring" bloggers write
Interestingly, one article mentions that an overflight of the volcano in 2008 spotted cracks on the glaciers that cover the volcano along with traces of ash. However, the direct connection between the seismicity in Patagonia and Reclus is still tenuous, so further observations of the remote volcano will need to be done.
