Llullaillaco 6745m
Llullaillaco is a mountain range at the border of Argentina and Chile with an elevation of 6745 metres. Llullaillaco is within the following mountain ranges: Argentine Andes, Chilean Andes, Puna de Atacama. Its territory is within the Argentinean protection area of Provincial Fauna Reserve Los Andes. It is on the border of 2 provinces: Argentinean province of Salta; Chilean province of Antofagasta. Its slopes are within 2 cities: Argentinean city of Tolar Grande; Chilean city of Antofagasta. GPS collected data from Maximo Kausch. GPS + Glonass on for 45min says 6752. SRTM's 90m resolution won't be accurate due to Llullaillaco's pointy summit plateau. So we should rely on TandemX data reducing it's local error margin (~20m). ASTER data has a small void due to south side glacier, so data is unreliable. Therefore 6745 meters seems right. The height of the nearest key col is 4396 meters so its prominence is 2349 meters. Llullaillaco is listed as mountain range, based on the Dominance system and its dominance is 34,83%.
