Parinacota and Pomerape, both located in Chile.
Also known as Nevados de Payachata.
Smithsonian catalog seems to think they are the same volcano.
However, Chilean postcard, shown below, thinks they are two
different volcanoes.
Recorded in Smithsonian catalog as Holocene, but no dated
eruptions.
Stamp depicting same scene, apparently in reverse, was issued
in 1996.
The volcanoes were also shown on Lauca National Park issue
of January 25th 1990 shown below.
They also appear on the Scout 1998 issue for Gambia
