Carrán-Los Venados (Spanish pronunciation: [kaˈran los βeˈnaðos]) is a volcanic group of scoria cones, maars and small stratovolcanoes in southern Chile, southeast of Ranco Lake. The highest cone is Los Guindos (Spanish for "The Cherry Trees), which is a small stratovolcano with an elevation of 1,114 metres (3,655 ft). The volcanic group has recorded eruptions from 1955 and 1979. Located south of Maihue Lake and north Puyehue Volcano Carrán-Los Venados group is placed at the intersection of several faults on the thin crust (~30 km) of southern Chile, among them Liquiñe-Ofqui and Futrono Fault.

gollark: pjals: `_G.tps` is only in my TPS overlay code so my flight script can compensate for TPS issues without using more server resources by checking TPS itself.
gollark: Wait, are you explodinating stuff?
gollark: People will either pick somewhere with a city or something, the first unoccupied place /rtp came up with, or somewhere exotic like underwater.
gollark: It's not exotic enough.
gollark: I just downgraded everything, added everything with `qt` in the name to IgnorePkg, and upgraded.
