The 2860-metre-high snow-capped stratovolcano, located 750 kilometres south of the capital Santiago, is one of the most active in Chile.
The latest series of eruptions began on 7 February with several minor explosions and ash plumes triggering a yellow alert.
A further pre-dawn eruption on 3 March sparked the evacuation of thousands of people from within a 10-kilometre radius of the volcano.
That eruption covered the mountain's eastern flank with a huge volume of volcanic material.
Villarrica is one of Chile's most active volcanoes with at least 66 recorded eruptions since the arrival of Europeans.
This image of Villarrica's latest eruption was taken from an altitude of about 700 kilometres by the Advanced Land Imager onboard NASA's EO-1 satellite on 18 March, 2015.
everywhere in the world; in increased frequency; what good will it do to spend bazillions of dollars on CO2 removal?
Just 1 or 2 of these cones going off, releases FAR MORE CO2 than any of these madcap outrageously expensive schemes to reduce CO2 will ever accomplish.
Nature will do what it wants to do, man is pretty foolish to think he can mitigate/manage atmospheric CO2 levels.
Of course, this CO2 issue is way down the lists of what is needed in the world.
#1, in my humble opinion, is to use all this fancy DNA science to eliminate psychopathy from the gene pool.
Just a thought..LOL
