عن هذا الجبل
Volcan Irruputuncu (5163m) is a volcanic peak in the Andes, Chile. Grade 3/5: strenuous climb with technical sections. A prominent Andean volcano rising above surrounding altiplano, drawing climbers from around the world.
The topographic contour map of Volcan Irruputuncu (5163m) in the Andes shows contours reflecting the unique geological character of the terrain. Contour lines are drawn at 100m intervals, with index contours (thicker lines) every 500m. The hypsometric color scale ranges from green (lower elevations) through yellow and orange to white (highest elevations near the 5,163m summit). Above 4,500m, the estimated snow line at this latitude, contours transition to cooler tones indicating permanent snow and ice.

The east–west elevation profile of Volcan Irruputuncu (5163m) in the Andes shows the terrain cross-section through the summit at 5,163m. The color gradient transitions from green (valley floor) to white (summit zone), with the red summit marker indicating the peak. The dashed blue snow line at 4,500m marks the approximate elevation above which permanent snow persists year-round.
Frequently Asked Questions
The contour map uses a hypsometric color scale where green represents lower elevations, yellow and orange indicate mid-range altitudes, and white marks the highest zones near the summit. Thicker contour lines (index contours) are drawn at wider intervals to help you quickly estimate elevation.
The contour map of Volcan Irruputuncu (5163m) uses a 100m contour interval. This means each line represents a 100m change in elevation. Closely spaced contours indicate steeper terrain, while widely spaced contours show gentler slopes.
The elevation profile is a cross-section through Volcan Irruputuncu (5163m) from west to east, passing through the summit at 5,163m. It reveals the mountain's shape, steepness, and relative height compared to the surrounding terrain. The horizontal axis shows distance in kilometers from the peak.
At Volcan Irruputuncu (5163m)'s latitude (21°), the estimated permanent snow line is approximately 4,500m. Since Volcan Irruputuncu (5163m) reaches 5,163m, about 663m of the mountain extends above the snow line. This is shown as a dashed blue line on the elevation profile.
