The volcano of Orsono was spouting out volumes of smoke.

This most beautiful mountain, formed like a perfect cone, and white with snow, stands out in front of the Cordillera.

Another great volcano, with a saddle-shaped summit, also emitted from its immense crater little jets of steam.
Subsequently we saw the lofty-peaked Corcovado--well deserving the name of "el famoso Corcovado." Thus we beheld, from one point of view, three great active volcanoes, each about seven thousand feet high.

In addition to this, far to the south there were other lofty cones covered with snow, which, although not known to be active, must be in their origin volcanic.

The line of the Andes is not, in this neighbourhood, nearly so elevated as in Chile; neither does it appear to form so perfect a barrier between the regions of the earth.
