Licancabur Volcano
Licancabur is an active stratovolcano on the border of Chile and Bolivia, known for its near-perfect conical shape and the world’s highest crater lake.
The volcano is reflected in the nearby Laguna Verde, and conditions near its crater have been compared to those on Mars, making it a site for scientific research.
