Subduction volcanoes in the Far South

In Chile volcanoes south of 45° are related to the subduction of the Antarctic Plate under the South American plate.

Pacific hotspot volcanoes

The Pacific islands of Chile are of volcanic origin. They have been formed from magma coming from three distinct hotspots, Easter, Juan Fernández and San Felix hotspots. The westermost part of the ridges formed by these hotpots contain the most recently active volcanoes.
