Licancabur Lake is a crater lake in Chile located on the volcano Licancabur. It is close to the city San Pedro de Atacama and also very close to the border of Chile with Bolivia.
The lake is among several high altitude volcanic lakes in the region. Licancabur Lake is located inside the summit crater of Licancabur and was discovered by climbers in 1953, when it was 85 metres long. While the waterbody may have overflowed in the past, presently it is only drained by seepage and evaporation. Lake levels are variable; in 2002 it covered a surface area of 7,000 square metres.
The lake's waters are clear and slightly saline. Temperature readings recorded at the lake bottom in 2006 suggest it is subject to geothermal heating.
