Laguna del Diamante Laguna del Diamante (Spanish for "lake of the diamond") is a lake located in the province of Mendoza, Argentina, in the San Carlos Department, some 198 km from Mendoza. It covers a surface area of about 14.1 km² and is one of the largest freshwater resources in the Province. Nearby is Maipo volcano. The volcano and its reflection in the lake
Laguna del Maule (volcano) volcano-tectonic origin, with fluid flow inducing a subordinate amount of earthquakes; two intersecting lineaments on the southwest corner of the lake appear to be involved. The 2010 Maule earthquake, west of Laguna del Maule, did not affect the volcanic field, with the rate of uplift remaining unchanged, while other measurements indicate a change in the uplift rates at that point. Several reasons have been proposed for the inflation, including the movement of magma underground, the injection of new magma, or the action of volcanic gases and volatiles which are released by the magma. Another proposal is that the inflation may
