Chile Ash Cloud

Chile Ash Cloud

The picture below shows a cloud of lightning topped ash rising into the sky during a June eruption of the  Puyehue-Cordón Caulle volcano complex, southern Chile. The summer eruption grounded flights in Chile and neighboring Argentina.

Officials began evacuating people from the immediate vicinity of the Hudson Volcano, 470 miles (756 kilometers) south of Puyehue-Cordón Caulle. Recent releases of steam and ash from the volcano have had authorities in Chile and Argentina on high alert.
