We reported a new eruption yesterday from Caulle volcano, but it soon turned out that the observed ash plume originated from very vigorous remobilization of ash deposits on the volcano. ...mehr [alles lesen]

ONEMI has decreased the alert level of the volcano for the nearby villages (Futrono, Lago Ranco,Río Bueno, Puyehue) to the lowest level "alerta Temprana". Seismic activity has decreased and there is no mor tremor recorded. SERNAGEOMIN has also reduced the activity level back to green.

Almost daily small plumes were observed during the past week rising less than 1 km. Incandescence at crater was observed from 10-11 April.

Ash plumes during the past week rose no higher than 450 m above the crater. Incandescence from the crater was also observed.

During the past week, plumes rose no higher than 1.2 km above the crater. Incandescence from the crater was observed every night.

Ash plumes are becoming smaller, mostly no higher than 1 km above the crater. Incandescence from the crater observed during 23-27 March.

During the past week, the eruption from the Cordón Caulle rift zone continued at a low level, producing plumes rising 0.4-1.2 km above crater, drifting easterly and northerly directions. Incandescence was sometimes observed from the crater.

Based on seismicity detected during 6-13 March, OVDAS-SERNAGEOMIN reported that the eruption from the Cordón Caulle rift zone, part of the Puyehue-Cordón Caulle volcanic complex, continued at a low level. Plumes observed most days in web camera and satellite images rose 0.3-1.2 km above the crater and drifted 30-50 km NNE, E, and SW. Incandescence from the crater was observed during 5-8 and 10-13 March. The Alert Level remained at Red. ...mehr

The eruption from the Cordón Caulle rift zone, part of the Puyehue-Cordón Caulle volcanic complex, continued at a low level. During 28-29 February plumes observed with a web camera and satellite images rose 1 km above the crater and drifted 40 km NNE. During 2-3 March plumes rose 0.7-3 km above the crater and drifted SE. ...mehr

Krater Glut wurde während 14-15 Februar beobachtet. Die Warnstufe blieb bei Red. ...mehr

The eruption from the Cordón Caulle rift zone continued at a low level. On 18, 20, and 22-23 January plumes observed with a web camera rose 2.5-7 km above the crater and on 18, 20, and 22-24 January satellite images showed ash plumes drifting 25-110 km NE, E, SE, and W. The Alert Level remained at Red. ...mehr

Fast 2 Monate nach dem Start, die explosiven und starken Ausbruch von Chiles Puyehue-Cordn Caulle Volcanic Complex setzt sich weiter fort, aber auf einem viel niedrigeren Niveau als im ersten Monat des Ausbruchs. In den letzten Tagen hat die Eruptionssäule worden, die bis zu 2 km und produziert Aschewolken driften nach Osten in Argentinien, wo die Asche verursacht Probleme der Infrastruktur, sowie Störungen des Flugverkehrs.
Die Lava-Emission aus der Ausbruchsspalte scheint beendet. ...mehr

The eruption of Puyehue Cordon-Caulle has decreased in intensity, although near continuous ash emissions are still going on. In its latest bulletin on Friday, SERNAGEOMIN reports the height of the ash column did not exceed 3 km, and the plume is drifting at flight level 200 (20,000 ft / ca. 6 km) altitude into Argentina, where the ash fall has become a major problem in several towns and villages near the border, in particular in and around Bariloche. Electricity and water supply have become damaged, impacting the tourist industry severely. As well, faramin, especially of sheep, is suffering heavy losses.

The eruption at Puyehue-Cordón Caulle continues to be big. In its latest bulletin, SERNAGEOMIN reports that a dense pulsating column of ash is erupted and reaches up to 9 km altitude, corresponding to strongly fluctuating levels of tremor. At night, the lower 1.5-2 km of the column show incandescence. The eruption column produces a visible plume of 250 km length to the SE where heavy ashfall occurs. Further apart, in Argentinia and across the globe in Australia and New Zealand, the ash plume which is now circling around the southern hemisphere continues to cause serious disruption of air traffic.

The eruption at Puyehue-Cordón Caulle is still going strong, producing a pulsating 4-8 km high column of ash and incandescent material visible at night at the base of the eruption column. The Volcanism Blog has posted a great summary of the latest two reports of SERNAGEOMIN from 11 and 12 June. The key points are: ...mehr [alles lesen]

The eruption at Puyehue volcano shows no signs of exhaustion. While the plume had decreased significantly after the initial eruptions, the eruption has increased again in the past days and the volcano is now producing a near-constant ash column which reaching 4 to up to 10 km altitude and drifting east (VAAC Buenos Aires). ...mehr

The eruption at Puyahue volcano has weakened a lot in the past days. As of today, 10 June, the volcano continues to erupt, but the ash cloud reaches "only" 15,000 ft (ca. 5 km) altitude, compared to >10 km in the previous days. (VAAC Buenos Aires)

The eruption at Puyehus volcano has decreased, but the volcano continues to emit an impressive ash plume, but there is still a lot of ash in the atmosphere above a large swath of Argentina, causing a hazard for flight operations. ...mehr [alles lesen]

The intensity of the eruption continues at more or less the same level as yesterday. A sustained column of ash rises from the Caulle vent area to 10-12 km altitude, drifting NE. The ash affects many regional flights within Argentina as well between Argentina and Chile, many of which have been cancelled. Flights within Chile so far seem to be operating normally.

The spectacular explosive eruption at Puyehue volcano continues, although its intensity seems to have decreased slightly. It is producing a sustained column of ash that reaches 10-12 km altitude and is currently drifting NE. Significant ash fall is occurring SE, E and NE of the volcano including the province of Río Negro, Argentina, with the popular resort town of Bariloche, where heavy ash fall is reported and causing problems to daily life and infrastructure. ...mehr [alles lesen]

A significant eruption is taking place at Puyehue-Cordón Caulle volcano in central Chile. The eruption started on 4 June with a large explosion that sent an ash plume to 10 km altitude (FL350, 35,000 feet a.s.l.) which was moving towards SE into Argentina. More than 3500 people have been evacuated. ...mehr
