This handout picture released by the Chilean Air Force shows the cloud of ash billowing from Puyehue volcano near Osorno in southern Chile, 870 km south of Santiago, taken on June five, 2011. Puyehue volcano erupted for the first time in half a century on June 4th, 2011, prompting evacuations for 3,500 people as it sent a cloud of ash that reached Argentina. The National Service of Geology and Mining said the explosion that sparked the eruption also produced a column of gas ten kilometers (6 miles) high, hours after warning of strong seismic activity in the area.
