Licancabur is a stratovolcano which lies on the border of Chile and Bolivia (the peak proper being located in Chile) near the Laguna Verde. Its last eruption happened in the Holocene. Licancabur is a Cunza word that the indigenous people of this area used to refer to themselves as well as to the volcano. The 70 by 90 metre crater lake at the summit is believed to be the highest lake in the world, and despite air temperatures of -30 C it contains numerous living creatures.
