Cerro Deslinde

Cerro Deslinde is a 5,606 metres (18,392 ft) high volcano in Chile, just northeast of the El Tatio geothermal field.[2]

Deslinde was glaciated during the Pleistocene, with moraines occurring at elevations of 4,200 metres (13,800 ft).[2] South of Deslinde, a long glacier developed and spread westward.[3]
