Chile’s volcano: It’s not finished yet
Clouds of ash spewing from Chile’s Puyehue volcano have grounded flights at airports in Uruguay and Argentina, raising concerns for more air travel chaos.
Plumes of ash from Puyehue have twice severely disrupted air travel in Australia and New Zealand in recent weeks.
The Puyehue volcano has been causing air travel mayhem since it rumbled back to life on June 4 for the first time in five decades.
There are also reports from Indonesia that people living near Mt Lokon volcano on Sulawesi island will be evacuated after the volcano’s alert status was raised to the highest level.
There has been a significant rise in volcanic activity since July 9, an official said.
“Today we will be evacuating people living within a 3.5-kilometre radius around the volcano as a precautionary measure, in case of a bigger eruption which may be accompanied by deadly searing gas,” the official added.
