Aguilera volcano, located west of Lake Argentina and NE of Peel Fjiord, is one of a chain of poorly known volcanoes in the southernmost Chilean Andes. Geochemical evidence indicated that the dacitic Aguilera volcano was the source of a major late-Holocene Patagonian tephra layer that was erupted less than about 3600 years ago.
