Chile: Volcano plume causes orange alert

  • 9 years ago
After Chile's Villarrica volcano sent a plume of boiling ash high into the sky today, authorities declared an orange alert. Villarrica, one of South America's most active volcanos, has not erupted since the year 2000, but last month authorities evacuated nearby communities due to unstabile activity. Chile has close to 400 potentially active volcanos. teleSUR
