Lindalee User ID: 28645452 United States 12/22/2012 09:15 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The authorities in Argentina and Chile have issued an alert over increased activity at the Copahue volcano, which has begun spewing smoke and gas. Many residents have already left the area as a precaution. An orange volcano alert, the second highest, has been issued in both countries. [link to www.bbc.co.uk] Circling the Sun @ 63,000 MPH <3 |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 30709020 Portugal 12/23/2012 11:13 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Updated: Sunday, 23 December, 2012 at 03:58 UTC Description The authorities in Argentina and Chile have issued an alert over increased activity at the Copahue volcano, which has begun spewing smoke and gas. Many residents have already left the area as a precaution. An orange volcano alert, the second highest, has been issued in both countries. The 3,000m (10,000ft) volcano is in Argentina's south-western Neuquen province, which borders the Biobio region of Chile. Ash has been raining down on the nearby villages of Copahue, Caviahue and Zapala. Residents who have stayed behind have been told to monitor the situation and be prepared to evacuate. Planes flying over the southern Andes have also been warned. Hundreds of flights were cancelled last year due to the eruption of Puyehue volcano, in Chile. [link to hisz.rsoe.hu] |

The raise in tremor and the explosions also correlated with an increase of the gas column. The eruptions of Copahue during recorded history are mostly small to moderate in size. One likely scenario are frequent phreatic or phreatomagmatic (generated by interaction of magma and water) explosions. Under these conditions, the main danger is from the fallout of pyroclastic material (ash fall and ballistic impacts in proximal areas). Larger explosions could generate pyroclastic surges and lahars. Hazards: The proximal hazard area (15km radius) that can be affected by lava and / or lahars do not include populated areas. In more vigorous eruptions with lower probability of occurrence, pyroclastic flows could reach distances of up to 25 km. The area likely to be affected by ashfall with thicknesses greater than 1 cm is located primarily to the east of the volcano. Conclusion Changes in the characteristics of the seismic signal and observation of glow in the crater, indicating the presence of a magma body near the surface, which could generate lava flows down the slopes of the volcano and / or present strombolian activity. The intensity of seismic signals suggest that the eruption in progress is small and has characteristics of an open conduit. However, it cannot be ruled out that the activity evolves into a major eruption. Special attention is recommended in a 15km radius around the active crater and on the banks of the rivers draining away from the volcano because of the possibility of occurrence of lahars.

I think the pic in Wiki, is the same shot someone posted with in another comment only with the ash present. That looked pretty awful. Be safe all our friends in Chile and Argentina.
