Aracar
Mountain in Argentina
Aracar is a large conical stratovolcano in northwestern Argentina, just east of the Chilean border. It has a main summit crater about 1–1.5 kilometres (0.6–0.9 mi) in diameter and sometimes contains crater lakes and a secondary crater. The volcano has formed, starting during the Pliocene, on top of a lava platform and an older basement.
