Mountains and Volcanoes

There are 150 active volcanoes in Chile's Andes Mountain Range equal to 10% of the planet's active peaks. I experienced the frequent seismic activity here while on the computer - the whole internet café started to vibrate and I thought it was just some of the guys shaking the furniture. Found out later it measured 5.5 on the Richter scale, a mild earthquake for this area. In Chilean mythology, volcanoes are masculine (prone to exploding) and mountains are feminine (water flows down from them) and they are highly revered.
