I'm searching for information (papers, reviews, conference abstracts) about volcanic fumaroles within the Altiplano-Puna Volcanic Complex, at Argentina. I'm looking for ages and composition of the volcanoes showing these fumaroles.
Hello Benigno. Well-known fumaroles in Chile include Volcán Ollagüe and, further north, Guallatiri (18°25'S). I am writing because we climbed Volcán Tata Sabaya (19°08'S) in Bolivia in 1994 and we observed a small fumarole producing about as much steam as a domestic kettle. Maybe that's not unusual: it's the only volcano I've ever climbed :-) Suerte, Don.
Dear Don
Thanks for your answer. Yes, there are fumaroles at Ollagüe and San Pedro volcano (targets of our next trip field next month). I didn't know that about Tata Sabaya (on which I work on 2005), as no information was published. I also I'm aware about geothermal manifestations at Sol de Mañana (Bolivia).
I don't know about this in the Argentinian Andes, but it seems that some manifestations are recognized in the Puna (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0377027316305194)
Thanks again,
Benigno
