Chilean Caldera Still Emitting Ash (VIDEO)

NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center

Caption

This GOES-13 satellite imagery shows the Chilean caldera still emitting a steady stream of ash, three weeks after the initial eruption on June 4, 2011. The cold winter wind from the south carries it up the coast out over the Pacific, instead of over the Andes into Argentina. The video runs from June 24 through June 26, 2011.
