Cerro Tujle
Cerro Tujle (also known as Cerro Tucle or Cerro Tugle) is a mafic volcanic centre in the Central Volcanic Zone of the Andes,[2] Chile. It forms a 60 metres (200 ft) deep maar.[1] Its eruption products are aphyric.[2] Previously in 1977, this crater has been identified as a meteor crater with diameters of 300 by 350 metres (980 ft × 1,150 ft).[3]
