In fact, a diluted plume of gas, steam, and possibly some volcanic ash is visible on satellite images from yesterday and this morning. ...mehrHowever, the ash if present might have been picked up by winds. It is unclear whether the volcano has actually erupted and new ash. SERNAGEOMIN has not reported any unusual activity and keeps the volcano's status at green (normal). [ less] Sun, 15 Dec 2013, 07:43  MODIS / Terra satellite image 14 Dec showing a plume drifting N from Puyehue A significant ash(?) plume was spotted on Terra's satellite images yesterday afternoon. Since there are no other reports suggesting that a (larger in this case) eruption has occurred (e.g. heat signals, eyewitness reports, webcam), it seems likely that the plume was from wind-mobilized ash from the 2011-12 eruption. ...mehrIf new evidence of an eruption becomes available, we'll follow up, and please post a comment if you have other data. A passenger on a cruise ship reported: "Cruise ship Seabourn Quest sailing out of Castro, Chile, just passed what we believe is the actively erupting Chaiten volcano. Eruption ash cloud clearly visible throughout sunset, 8.15 to 9.00pm, 12/14/2013. Pyroclastic cloud going down left (north) flank. Secondary vents erupting on the flanks."

[ less] Thu, 1 Jan 1970, 00:00 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. Show more newsThu, 1 Jan 1970, 00:00 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- It is confirmed that the vent of the oingoing eruption is a new fissure at the head of Nilahue river and immediately north of the 1960 eruptive fissure. - The height of the ash column varies considerably and changes in short time. During pulses of stronger activity, the plume reaches up to 8 km, ballistic blocks reach up to 1 km distance and small column collapses (generating pyroclastic flows ?) were observed at the base of the column.  Incandescence is visible at the bottom of the plume at night (13 June 2011, 05:23 GMT) [ less] [ alles lesen] Thu, 1 Jan 1970, 00:00 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). ...mehrThe ash has now drifted as far as Australia, where many flights have been cancelled.

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. Thu, 1 Jan 1970, 00:00 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. ...mehrWide-spread flight disruptions have been caused in the region, and both Argentinian and Chilean airlines have temporarily cancelled many domestic flights. Airports affected include Baricloche, Neuquen, Esquel, Chapelco, Trelew, Viedma, Rio Gallegos, El Calafate, Ushuaia, Rio Grande and Comodoro Rivadavia.

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. ...mehrThe volcano last erupted in 1990, which was a small event.
