Al Gore = Ambulance chaser. It absolutely disgusts me that he uses the hurricane in Myanmar to further his agenda. The man is a spineless pathetic bastard. |

supposedly not a whole lot of sulfur dioxide with this one...only a few thousand pounds so far as compared with pinatubo which put out 20 million tons. |

i can see the headline next march now. "Volcano slows global warming for a winter"
right now, not a lot of sulfur dioxide released to cause any cooling but im sure the alarmists with blame the volcano to prolong their lie another year. |

Fresh fears over Chilean volcano
| Quote From Source: |
"There could be a major explosion that could collapse the volcano's cone," said Luis Lara of the National Geologic and Mining Service.
There have been reports of further activity in the Chaiten volcano in Chile, which began erupting on Friday for the first time in some 9,000 years.
Army staff supervising the evacuation of nearby towns reported hearing rumbling noises underground and seeing flashes of light overnight.
The authorities say they have now completed their evacuation of the immediate area in the Patagonia region.
Experts say the volcano could continue to erupt for weeks or months.
A layer of ash over 15cm (6in) thick has built up in some places and ground-water supplies have been contaminated.
A number of animals left behind have been rescued, but many have been reported dead, officials said.
Columns of smoke and ash have also reached neighbouring Argentina, disrupting flights.

We should start a poll. Will the volcano blow itself up in a major eruption or has it done all its going to do?

9374 years ago??
I think this may be the final say in how long ago it erupted...
| Quote From Source: | Stern said the pyroclastic flow and ash-fall deposits he and Chilean colleagues analyzed in 2004 indicate Chaiten last erupted about 9,370 years ago. "We consider the lifespan of Andean volcanoes to be about 1 million years, which is supported by this new eruption," he said.

| Quote From Source: | "The volcano went into a higher state of activity this morning," Stern. "What happens after today is anybody's guess."
"In to order to significantly affect the climate, a volcano has to put out a lot of sulfur dioxide aerosols into the stratosphere for an extended period, which then reflects sunlight away from the Earth," he said. "Our data from Chaiten showed the last eruption was high in silica and low in sulfur."

The image is about 2 days old but it shows the ash output from the volcano. It looked significant back then. Supposedly the eruption has ramped up quite a bit as of yesterday so I can only imagine what it looks like now.

‘We fear volcano is going to erupt again’
| Quote From Source: | A SOUTH Wales man spoke today of his fears after he was trapped under a thick cloud of ash when a giant volcano erupted near the Welsh colony of Patagonia.
James Williams, 28, from Llantrisant, who has been in South America since last April promoting the Welsh language, said people were “trying to stay positive” but finding it hard not knowing if the giant Chaiten volcano would erupt again.
As he spoke, there were more reports from Chile of further activity in the volcano, which began erupting on Friday for the first time in 9,000 years, sending plumes of smoke from the Andes mountains across the whole South American continent to the Atlantic Ocean. Army staff supervising the evacuation of nearby towns yesterday reported hearing rumbling noises underground and seeing flashes of light overnight, while experts said the volcano could continue to erupt for weeks or months.

Chile gives volcano hold-outs ultimatum to flee
| Quote From Source: |
PUERTO MONTT, Chile (Reuters) - Chile ordered hold-out residents to flee from an erupting volcano in the remote region of Patagonia on Thursday and vowed to remove them by force if they refuse to obey.
The military evacuated a small contingent of troops and journalists from near Chaiten volcano in southern Chile before dawn on Thursday, after it spat a surge of fiery material.
But a few civilians refused to leave two villages near the volcano, which began erupting last week for the first time in thousands of years.
A strong smell of sulfur hung in the air around the village of Chaiten, just 6 miles from the volcano.

Chile volcanic eruption at critical stage
| Quote From Source: | A towering plume of ash from an erupting volcano in Chile's remote Patagonia could rain down on the surrounding area and cause devastating damage, a volcano expert warned on Friday.
Luis Lara, a scientist with the government's geology and mining agency, said the column, which has soared 7.5 miles (12 km) into the air, was at a critical stage.
An abrupt descent would blanket vast areas with deadly hot gas, ash and molten rock, he said.
Authorities have evacuated thousands of people from the immediate vicinity of Chaiten volcano, 760 miles (1,220 km) south of the capital Santiago, and are forcing people within a 30-mile (50-km) radius to leave.
Chaiten began erupting eight days ago for the first time in thousands of years.
"We are at a critical point of this phase given the characteristics (of the eruption) have remained the same for several days," Lara said.
"The volcano is now at its limit and one possibility is that the column could collapse quickly, generating flows of ... material down its ravines," he said.

How much longer is this going to continue? Will this result in the collapse of the entire system when the chamber empties?

Here is an interesting quote from another forum.
| Quote From Source: |
That particular figure I got from Wikipedia, i.e. "it ejected more than 0.67 cubic miles (2.8 cubic km) of material". However, it appears the 2.8 cubic km referred to was actually the amount of material that slid off the mountain, not the ejecta. So that means Chaiten has actually ejected at least 50% more than St Helens. (Sorry about that.)

50% larger than St. Helens. And according to some the eruption could go on for months. It will be interesting to see if it reaches VEI 6 which seems possible.

Ash cloud stretches across S America
| Quote From Source: | The eruption of a long-dormant volcano in southern Chile has created an enormous cloud of ash that has spread hundreds of kilometres to the east, across Argentina and Uruguay.
The authorities in Chile have set up a 50-kilometre exclusion area around the Chaiten volcano and evacuated at least 6,000 people.
Visiting some of the evacuees, Chilean President Michelle Bachelet has said the lava could wipe out the closest town of Chaiten within minutes if the eruption escalates.

Vast Chile volcano ash cloud partially collapses
| Quote From Source: | PUERTO MONTT, Chile, May 13 (Reuters) - A towering cloud of hot ash, gas and molten rock spewed miles into the air by a volcano in southern Chile has partially collapsed, raising fears it could smother surrounding villages, an expert said on Tuesday.
Luis Lara, a scientist with the government's geology and mining agency, said the column of ash, which had soared as high as 20 miles (30 km), was now about 4.5 miles (7 km).
The column of debris, kept aloft by the pressure of constant eruptions, could collapse entirely, smothering the ghost town of Chaiten 6 miles (10 km) away with hot gas, ash and molten rocks.

Patagonia facing threat of Pompei-like disaster
| Quote From Source: | THE Welsh colony of Patagonia was last night facing the immediate threat of an earthquake after geologists warned that the enormous Chaiten volcano in neighbouring Chile has a 50% chance of imploding.
There were also fears that an earthquake could cause the region's San Martin reservoir to break its dam, releasing millions of gallons of water towards the town of Trevelin, which has a population of around 6,500.
Should the volcano collapse, Patagonia would be left in a state of “permanent night” for several days.
