Huaynaputina
Huaynaputina ( ; ) is a volcano in a volcanic high plateau in southern Peru. Lying in the Central Volcanic Zone of the Andes, it was formed by the subduction of the oceanic Nazca Plate under the continental South American Plate. Huaynaputina is a large volcanic crater, which lacks an identifiable mountain profile, with an outer stratovolcano and three younger volcanic vents within an amphitheatre-shaped structure that is either a former caldera or a remnant of glacial erosion. The volcano has erupted dacitic magma.

Huaynaputina (keczua: Młody wulkan), Waynaputina – stratowulkan położony na wyżynie wulkanicznej w południowym Peru. Jego wybuch 19 lutego 1600 r. był największą erupcją w Ameryce Południowej w czasach historycznych. Zanieczyszczenie atmosfery pyłami spowodowało ochłodzenie klimatu i serię ciężkich zim, pośrednio przyczyniając się m.in. do wielkiej klęski głodu w Rosji.
