Chile volcano photo report
You may have seen news reports at the weekend about a big volcanic eruption by the Cordon del Caulle volcano chain in southern Chile. As I live only a few hours drive north of this volcanic complex I decided to drop everything after finishing the report on the Chinese market and drive down there with my wife to see what we could of it, and get some photos to share with subscribers. We were successful and saw a lot before the weather closed in yesterday afternoon and made it impossible to see anything. Below of a selection of the best photos I took.
Driving towards the volcano on Sunday afternoon from the direction of Osorno. A huge horizontal plate of ash that has spread out beneath the tropopause can be seen, although the heat of the eruption has also driven ash through this layer to higher altitudes…
We draw closer as sunset approaches…
Driving under the massive anvil cloud we get closer and closer to the towering column of ash…
As we get much closer to the column of ash we can see it billowing upwards in huge clouds…
We drive into the “fallout zone” where there are strange light effects…
In the fallout zone visibility starts to drop, but we can still observe the ash cloud…
Boxers would appreciate this one as a part of the cloud takes the form of a gloved and clenched fist…
We then stayed overnight in the luxurious Termas de Puyehue hotel and spa which is only about 10 miles from the volcano, where there was a yellow alert. During the night we are able to observe lightning strikes in and across the ash cloud and at times we can hear deep rumblings and explosions from the volcano. The following photo, which was from the Chaiten eruption in Chile several years back, gives some idea what it was like. This photo is a time exposure – the lightning didn’t all happen at the same time…
The next morning, Monday 6th, it was still going of course and we were able to take the following photos…
The wind had changed overnight and the ash cloud moved away from in a north easterly direction into Argentina…
Over breakfast we continued to observe the eruption, and were helped by the sun being obscured by the ash cloud…
The ash cloud kept changing all the time and making strange shapes, and it doesn’t take much imagination to see a rather pugnacious face in this picture…
Every cloud has a silver lining of course, so while in Chile you get to see the spectacle of a big eruption in all its glory, the ash is nearly always transported to Argentina and dumped there – well, someone has to lose…
Just after this picture was taken the sun came out and you could hardly see anything of the eruption. A couple of hours later it clouded over and with the prospect of at least several days of rain in store, we called it a day and set off home, happy to have been able to see what we did.
