Callaqui is a stratovolcano located in the Bío Bío Region of Chile. It is a large ice-capped, basaltic andesite volcano which is elongated in the northeast-southwest direction, due to its construction along an 11 km (7 mi) long fissure. Numerous cinder cones and lava flows have erupted from vents along this linear fissure. Most of the activity at Callaqui has been fumarolic. Minor eruptions were reported 1751, 1864, and 1937, and the latest eruption was a small phreatic eruption in 1980.

[de] Callaqui
Der Callaqui ist ein 3164 m hoher Stratovulkan in den Anden Patagoniens in der Región del Bío-Bío im Süden von Chile. Der stark vergletscherte Basaltandesit-Kegel liegt etwa 80 Kilometer südöstlich der Stadt Los Ángeles in der vulkanisch sehr aktiven Gegend der Südamerikanischen Kordilleren. Er dehnt sich dort in nordöstlich-südwestlicher Richtung entlang einer etwa 11 km langen Bruchlinie aus, entlang derer sich im Laufe der Zeit mehrere Aschenkegel und Lavaflüsse bildeten.- [en] Callaqui
