Another Chile volcano
This item appears on page 20 of the August 2008 issue.
The Llaima Volcano, in Conguillio National Park about 435 miles south of Santiago, Chile, spewed lava and ash in January and February 2008, but its eruption again in July prompted the evacuation of tourists and residents from the area.
Currently, two volcanoes are erupting in Chile. The other, Chaiten, farther south near Puerto Montt, erupted spectacularly on May 2. Chile has a chain of 2,000-plus volcanoes (second only to Indonesia).
