Chile's snow-capped Villarrica volcano has been shaken by earthquakes and is belching fire, placing authorities on alert for a possible eruption in a picturesque area beloved by tourists.
Chilean authorities have issued a yellow alert after an increase in activity in the Villarrica volcano was detected.
Chilean authorities Thursday insisted on their yellow alert regarding a possible eruption by the Villarrica volcano. “The definition of a potential danger zone consisting of a radius of 500 meters around the crater is maintained,” the National Geology and Mining Service (Sernageomin) said in a statement.
Chile raised a “yellow” alert for communities near the Villarrica volcano on Nov. 8 after an increase in the explosive activity by the volcano.
