  1. Durations are expressed either in days (d) or hours (h). Mercalli and Silvestri (1891), Bianchi (2007) and Di Traglia et al. (2013). ESPs for Cordón Caulle are inferred from Bonadonna et al. (Bonadonna et al. 2015) and Pistolesi et al. (2015) based on the 2011 eruption. ESPs for La Fossa are inferred from Di Traglia et al. (2013) and based on the eruptions of the Palizzi unit (OES) and the Gran Cratere Eruptive Cluster (V–LLERS)
