Puntiagudo-Cordón Cenizos is a snow-capped volcanic chain located in the
Andes, in
Los Lagos Region of
Chile, near
Volcán Osorno. It lies between
Rupanco Lake and
Todos los Santos Lake. "Volcán Puntiagudo" (
Spanish for "Sharp-pointed volcano") is a
stratovolcano with a prominent 2,493 m high sharp-pointed summit that results from glacial dissection and gets its name from this feature. According to locals, the Puntiagudo volcano lost some of its sharp point in the earthquake of 1960 (9,5 Ritchter). So the volcano was more pointed than it is today. Puntiagudo is also given the name Cerro Cenizas.
