The volcano rises within the cirque of the Amalia Glacier and the glacier is actively eroding Reclus; retreat of the glacier in the 1980s has exposed part of the volcano. Reclus lies about east of the Amalia Fjord. The Southern Patagonian Ice Field and the Cordillera Sarmiento are found in the neighbourhood of Reclus, and Torres del Paine is c. east of the volcano. Politically, the volcano lies in the commune of Natales.
