Volcanodle
Puzzle #118 was Huequi.
Volcán Huequi is a small, glacier-free lava-dome complex in the center of the Huequi Peninsula in Ancud Bay. The basaltic andesite to dacitic volcano consists of a complex of lava domes within an arcuate collapse depression with debris-avalanche deposits extending to the NW. Explosive eruptions were recorded during the 19th and 20th centuries, initially in 1890 and most recently in about 1920.

Volcanodle builds its record from Global Volcanism Program, Smithsonian Institution (Venzke, E. (ed.), Volcanoes of the World, volcano.si.edu). The description above comes from the same place the game credits on every reveal: A verbatim excerpt of the volcano's GVP Geological Summary. The puzzle itself is still playable in the archive, and every answer that has been and gone is listed on the past-answers page.
