A new roar and a tremor shook the area.
“ Chances are that it is an erupting Chilean volcano.” Said Emil. “Several volcanoes, including El Chaiten and the Cordon Caulle-Puyehue volcano system have been covering this whole region with ash for some years. They can resume their violent activity at any time.”
“ And have they created hazards?" Asked Teresa uneasy.
“In Chile authorities had to evacuate a wide area around the volcano, and the "pen" of ash, including pieces of pumice, has traveled through the Argentine Patagonia up to the Atlantic Ocean, reaching as far as Buenos Aires, to 1600 kilometers northeast.”
“ And do you think that it is to erupt again?”
“ The volcanoes are very unpredictable, Teresa. The truth is that for more than a year that there has been no calm.”
