Chilean volcano eruption (Calbuco)

[RooFlyer]

Keeping an eye on this one! If there is another eruption, I might either be spending more time at Iguassu falls, or Mendoza, drinking malbecs!

Location:




The Buenos Aires Volcano Advisory Centre has recently published these images of the ash cloud as of 24th/25th local. Drifting north.

I also hope the ash cloud doesn't disrupt flights in Melbourne and NZ like in June 2011. I wonder how many days it took it 2011 to reach the south of Australia.

It only took about a week in 2011 -

I thought flights were cancelled.

Science flight ( volcanologists are crazy); balloon collecting data?

Anyway the plumes appear to be dissipating to the NE.

We were in the area a few years back. Luckily the volcanoes were quiet then, but Calbuco is pretty spectacular now. Hope is settles down soon for all those in the ares.
