Volcanodle
Puzzle #94 was Aguilera.
Aguilera, located west of Lake Argentina and NE of Peel Fjiord, is part of the Austral Volcanic Zone (AVZ) in the southernmost Chilean Andes. Geochemical evidence indicated that the dacitic volcano was the source of a major late Holocene tephra layer that was erupted around 3,200 years ago (Stern, 2008).

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.
