Stunning Imagery from Argentina-Chile | Volcano aftermath | Boston Globe - The Big Picture

A Before and After to Start - and several others following. There are many more photos HERE



In this combination photograph, Lake Nahuel Huapi is seen in a file photo from August 17, 2009 (top), and on June 8, 2011 with pumice and ash accumulated on its shore from an eruption of the Puyehue Volcano across the border in Chile. The volcano, dormant for decades, erupted in south-central Chile on June 4, belching ash over 6 miles (10 km) into the sky, as winds fanned it toward neighboring Argentina, and prompted the government to evacuate several thousand residents, authorities said.

The ash cloud from Chile's Puyehue volcano caused widespread travel chaos in the southern hemisphere since it erupted for the first time on June 4 after lying dormant half a century.

The Ranjentuco stream banks are covered with a coat of ash spew from Chilean volcano Puyehue in the outskirts of Villa La Angostura in Neuquen, some 1600 km south-west of Buenos Aires, on June 16, 2011. Air New Zealand cancelled domestic flights across much of the South Island Thursday after the Chile ash cloud was detected at lower levels than previously recorded, the airline said.
