First ascentHighest summit: 11/05/2014 - Henri Barret (France), Walter Sinay, Eduardo Namur, Claudio Recchia and Guillermo Almaraz (Argentina)[6][7] / Secondary 6127 metre summit - December 12, 2000 - Robert Ayers, Tony Brake, Paul Doherty, Paul Morgan - United States[8]

Activity in the complex started in Argentina and formed two stratovolcanoes. Later, 12 or more vents formed, some with craters up to 400 metres (1,300 ft) wide. Lava flows up to 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) long with flow ridges are also found. It covers a total area of 225 km2.[10] Radiometric dating has yielded ages of 1.7 ± 0.4 to 0.431 ± 0.012 million years ago,[11] a lava flow from the neighbouring Azufrera Los Cuyanos volcano that is sometimes considered part of Sierra Nevada is 140,000 years old.[12] Together with Cerro el Condor and Peinado it forms the Culampaja line, a line of volcanoes that reaches Cerro Blanco.[13] Strong seismic attenuation is observed beneath Sierra Nevada.[9] Hydrothermally altered rocks in Sierra Nevada may be the source of sulfate and arsenic in the Juncalito and Negro rivers, and heat sources for regional hot springs.[14] The snowline in the area lies at 5,800 metres (19,000 ft) altitude at Cumbre del Laudo.[15]


First Ascent


Sierra Nevada's main summit was one of the last 6000 metre peaks climbed in the Andes.[16] It was thought that its secondary summit, 6,127 metres (20,102 ft) 26°29′37″S 68°35′08″W, which sits on the border, was the highest. New measurements however show that the main summit is entirely in Argentina, 2.6 kilometres east.[4] The complex has 9 main summits.[17]

Notes


  1. Other elevation data from available digital elevation models are 6,137 metres (20,135 ft) from SRTM,[1] 6,122 metres (20,085 ft) from ASTER[2] and 6,172 metres (20,249 ft) from TanDEM-X.[3] The nearest key col reaches 4,788 metres (15,709 ft) elevation and a topographic prominence of 1,352 metres (4,436 ft), with a dominance of 22.02%. Its parent peak is Cerro El Condor and the Topographic isolation is 25.2 kilometers.[4]

[de] Sierra Nevada de Lagunas Bravas

Sierra Nevada de Lagunas Bravas ist eine Gruppe erloschener Vulkane in Chile und Argentinien mit einer Ausdehnung von 225 km². Die Sierra-Nevada-Gruppe besteht aus mindestens zwölf Vulkankratern. Zwei davon sind Schichtvulkane. Höchster Punkt ist der Cumbre del Laudo mit einer Höhe von 6127 m.

Sierra Nevada, conocida también como Sierra Nevada de Lagunas Bravas, es un complejo de volcanes cuya cumbre principal se halla ubicada en las coordenadas 26°29′31″S 68°33′34″O en la Cordillera de los Andes, entre Argentina y Chile. El límite internacional pasa por una de las cumbres de la Sierra Nevada.

[fr] Sierra Nevada (volcan)

Le massif volcanique de Sierra Nevada (« montagne enneigée ») est un volcan actuellement éteint, d'Argentine (province de Catamarca) et du Chili (région d'Atacama), situé à quelque 23 kilomètres au nord-ouest du volcan El Cóndor, c’est-à-dire à quelque quarante-cinq kilomètres au nord-ouest du col frontalier du paso de San Francisco. Comme ce dernier, il fait frontière entre les deux pays.

[it] Sierra Nevada de Lagunas Bravas

Il Sierra Nevada de Lagunas Bravas, è un complesso vulcanico che sorge sulla frontiera tra Cile e Argentina. Parte del complesso vulcanico è databile all'Olocene, ma altre parti del complesso mostrano un'attività risalente al Pleistocene. Il materiale più antico si trova in territorio argentino. Il complesso sorge in una delle regioni più remote delle Ande, questo ne ha reso lo studio molto difficoltoso. Il complesso occupa un'area di 225 chilometri quadrati. La vetta più alta supera di poco i seimila metri ed è la penultima montagna ad essere stata conquistata nelle Ande[1] la vetta è stata raggiunta da una spedizione americana nel 2000.

[ru] Сьерра-Невада-де-Лагунас-Бравас

Сьерра-Невада-де-Лагунас-Бравас (исп. Sierra Nevada de Lagunas Bravas) — крупный игнимбритовый комплекс вулканических куполов на границе[en] Аргентины (провинция Катамарка) и Чили (область Атакама) в отдалённой части Центральных Анд. Здесь находится гора высотой 6173 метров[1] — 50-я по высоте вершина Анд, 9-й по высоте вулкан Чили и 7-й по высоте вулкан Аргентины. Сайт Andes.org.uk сообщает о высшей точке комплекса 6140 м.[2] Одна из высших точек комплекса, Кумбре-дель-Лаудо[en] (6122 м), впервые была покорена в декабре 2000 года группой американских альпинистов под руководством Роберта Айерса[2]. Комплекс занимает площадь 225 км² содержит минимум 14 стратовулканов, диаметр кратеров которых достигает 400 метров. Снеговая линия находится на отметке 6103 метра[3].
