"Osorno is one of Chile's most famous volcanos, owing to its near perfect symmetry (it is frequently called "the Fuji-yama of South America") and its scenic location above the lakes Todos los Santos and Llanquihue. Although there have been no eruptions of this volcano since the mid-19th century, Osorno is a very youthful volcano, and fumarolic activity is still occurring at some points on its summit crater rim. Numerous cinder cones and lava flows on its flanks show an excellent state of preservation, implying that they have formed only during the past centuries to millennia. Historical records mention eruptive activity through the 1860's."
