The Michinmahuida is a heavily glaciated stratovolcano in the Región de los Lagos in Chile . The volcano lies on the Liquiñe Ofqui fault zone . In 2008 the glacier was covered by the ashes of the Chaitén volcano, which erupted around 15 km to the southwest . A south-flowing glacier tongue reaches an altitude of almost 600 meters (as of 2014). The volcano is located in the southern part of Pumalín Park , a private sanctuary owned by US millionaire Douglas Tompkins . The next larger settlement is Chaitén .
