The Cerro del Azufre is the largest and youngest volcanic area within a 50-kilometer chain of north-west to south-east oriented volcanoes in Chile , immediately west of the Bolivian-Chilean border in the Antofagasta region . The northern summit forms the highest point of the Andesite volcano at 5846 meters . On the northern flank, some lava flows formed in the late Pleistocene , but these were largely covered by debris avalanches. There are no reliable scientific data on the last eruption of the volcano.
