Llullaillaco ( or ) is a dormant stratovolcano on the border between Argentina (Salta Province) and Chile (Antofagasta Region). It is part of the Llullaillaco National Park and lies in the Puna de Atacama, a region of tall volcanic peaks on a high plateau close to the Atacama Desert, one of the driest places in the world. Its maximum elevation is most commonly given as , making it the second-highest active volcano in the world. Despite its height, it is not clear whether the volcano has any glaciers or merely patches of perennial snow and ice. Between and elevation there is a sparse plant cove
Llullaillaco is a massive dormant volcano straddling the Argentina-Chile border in one of the world's driest regions, standing as the second-highest active volcano globally. It matters because of its extreme altitude and remote location in the high Puna plateau, making it significant for understanding volcanic activity at extreme elevations and in one of Earth's most inhospitable environments.
