Below is a summary of eruption dates and Volcanic Explosivity Indices (VEI).

The following references are the sources used for data regarding this volcano. References are linked directly to our volcano data file. Discussion of another volcano or eruption (sometimes far from the one that is the subject of the manuscript) may produce a citation that is not at all apparent from the title. Additional discussion of data sources can be found under Volcano Data Criteria.

Reclus volcano, the source of several Holocene Patagonian tephra layers, was recognized to be an independent volcanic edifice only in 1987. The 1000-m-high volcano consists of a large dacitic pyroclastic cone with a crater about 1 km in diameter. As many as a half dozen tephra layers overlie a peat layer dated at 3780 years before present. The volcano is being actively eroded by the Amalia Glacier, which drains off the Patagonian Icecap. Later work revealed evidence for historical eruptions in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
