Vulkaan uitgebarsten in zuiden van Chili
Vulkaan uitgebarsten in zuiden van Chili.
De vulkaan Llaima in het zuiden van Chili is dinsdag uitgebarsten. Honderdvijftig toeristen en parkwachters zijn geëvacueerd uit het natuurreservaat waarin de vulkaan ligt en de autoriteiten houden politie en brandweer paraat om zo nodig ook de inwoners van een op twaalf kilometer van de vulkaan gelegen dorp te evacueren. Boven de vulkaan stijgt een rookwolk drie kilometer de lucht in en uit de krater stromen as en lava.
Het Conguillioreservaat ligt 650 kilometer ten zuiden van de hoofdstad Santiago. Het dorp dat in de bedreigde zone ligt, Melipeuco, telt zeker vijfduizend inwoners.

Evacuatie toeristen wegens vulkaan.
In Chili zijn meer dan 100 toeristen geëvacueerd na de uitbarsting van een vulkaan.
Llaima
De vulkaan ligt ongeveer 700 kilometer ten zuiden van de hoofdstad Santiago de Chili. De 3125 hoge Llaima braakte gisteren een grote wolk rook uit en bedekte een omliggend natuurpark met een laag as. Er zijn nog geen berichten van schade of gewonden.
Knallen
Voor de uitbarsting hoorde mensen in dorpen in de omgeving van de vulkaan luide ondergrondse knallen. Lava stroomt van de flanken van de vulkaan, een van de actiefste van Zuid-Amerika.

Chilean Volcano Forces 700 To Evacuate
Despite Explosions Spewing Lava And Ash, The Llaima Volcano's Eruptions Seem To Be Slowing
About 700 people were evacuated as a volcano erupted Wednesday in southern Chile, rocking the area with explosions and spewing lava and ash. But the Llaima volcano's eruptions were slowing by Wednesday afternoon, so a larger evacuation did not appear necessary. The evacuees included about 200 tourists, National Forest Service employees and others in the surrounding Conguillio National Park, about 400 miles south of Santiago. Hundreds spent the night outside or in shelters in Melipeuco, a town of 5,000 near the Llaima volcano. Others fled to communities farther away, but most were returning Wednesday.
Chile's Emergency Bureau director, Carmen Fernandez, said a larger evacuation wasn't necessary despite television images showing thick smoke and lava flowing from the crater. "There are no signs yet of an increased risk," Fernandez said. "There is some flow of lava, but not in a continued manner yet." The bureau said the eruption was decreasing Wednesday and explosions were less frequent and milder, even as Argentina reported a heavy presence of gas and ash across the border.
The 9,400-foot high Llaima, one of the most active among some 60 active volcanoes in Chile, has not had a major blast since 1994.

Every cloud has a silver lining
Volcano erupts in Chile.
Several communities in Chile remained on edge Wednesday after a volcano sent a column of gray ash into the sky and lava cascading down a snow-covered mountain.
More than 1,000 people have fled their homes even though the government has not ordered an evacuation.
"There are no signs yet of an increased risk," Chile's Emergency Bureau director, Carmen Fernandez, told The Associated Press.
"There is some flow of lava, but not in a continued manner yet."
But almost 200 people were ordered to leave a nearby national park after pillars of orange flame rocketed into the night sky from Llaima volcano, which towers above central Chile at 3,125 meters (10,252 feet).
f the volcano keeps erupting, authorities may have to evacuate 6,000 people from the nearby town of Melipeuco, Fernandez said.
The lava flow has melted snow and swollen nearby rivers. That has raised fears of flooding, with the water already blocking one road.
The volcano sent a plume of smoke nearly 12,500 meters (41,000 feet) into the air after erupting around 6 p.m. Tuesday, according to the Global Volcanism Program of the Smithsonian Institution.
