Cerro Lípez
Stratovolcano in Bolivia / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cerro Lípez (also Cerro Lipez) is a stratovolcano in the Cordillera de Lípez in the Sud Lípez Province of the Potosí Department in southwestern Bolivia. It has twin peaks and rises to 5,933 m. On some maps[2] it is incorrectly labeled as Nuevo Mundo. Nuevo Mundo is in fact hundreds of kilometres to the northeast and five hundred metres shorter. The confusion came in part from a misidentification of the height of Nuevo Mundo.[3]
