The second eruption of Calcubo ended but the authorities maintain the red alert around the volcano, where the column of ash emitted from the crater reached 11 km height. Rodrigo Alvarez Seguel, head of the National Service of Geology and Mining informed the President of Chile, Michelle Bachelet, the situation around the Calcubo, after the first helicopter monitoring the activity of the volcano. The Chilean experts fear is that it could produce a third eruption after those recorded yesterday and today shortly after one in the morning which could be even more violent.

Meanwhile, security forces have given 20 minutes of time to the people of Ensenada, the closest town to the volcano about 5 km from cratere to evacuate their homes, some of which have already been damaged because of ash are accumulating on the roofs, and in some areas more than 40 inches tall. The second eruption began in the morning. Rodrigo Alvarez Seguel, said the second quake had more energy of the first, recorded yesterday, and was longer. The Sernageomin maintains an area of ​​restriction of 20 kilometers around the crater of Calbuco, and announced a first overflight monitoring the volcano.

Chilean Interior Minister, Mahmud Aleuy, informed that a young climber who is so far dispersed may be the first victim of the violent eruption of the volcano Calbuco. We had a complaint about a possible accident, it is a mountain climber named Waldo De Flores, 21 years, said Aleuy to the press. The first information disseminated by local media indicate that De Flores would be found within walking distance of the main crater of Calbuco just before the first eruption recorded yesterday. Our main concern is always the protection of people's lives, so we try to make every effort to find him, added the minister, who has appealed to the people of the region to follow the instructions that are provided by security forces, pointing out that only a few cases the residents of the area around the volcano have refused to evacuate their homes.

Alertness, evacuation, was exceptional. The sudden eruption of the volcano Calbuco last night rocked southern Chile putting in alarm the nearby Bariloche in Argentine territory. In the popular tourist town of Patagonia, the authorities have closed the airport and asked residents not to go out as far as possible from the homes. The Calbuco 'blue water' in the language of the Mapuche an altitude of 2000 meters and is located thousand kilometers south of Santiago, between the towns of Puerto Montt and Puerto Varas, in an area that Chileans call the Lakes region. It is considered as the third most dangerous among 90 volcanoes that are located in the country. The violent awakening of Calbuco nevertheless surprised the locals, as it was from 1972 which was not included in the phase of eruption.

From the crater was immediately lifted a long plume. Waiting to visit the area, the president Michelle Bachelet has therefore asked the people to follow the instructions of the government. We have taken all the necessary measures, he assured, without excluding the possibility for the next few hours of an outflow of lava. The government has, among other things ordered the evacuation of about 4000 people in the area of ​​Ensenada, in addition to ordering the state of emergency in three municipalities in the area threatened by the eruption.

On the other hand there is a risk that the massive plume high 17 km according to some media can suddenly "collapse giving off pyroclastic materials composed of gas and rock fragments, said Interior Minister Rodrigo Peñailillo. The spectacular plume has gradually shifted pushed by the wind over the Andes, 'enter' on the Argentine territory up to a hundred miles distant locations such as Bariloche and Villa La Angostura. In the night, the particles of volcanic began to fall triggering the emergency. Earlier the authorities had closed airports and schools

Who would imagine that slouching in a puddle of chunky hoary mire would be one of the places of interest of any jaunt to Colombia at Volcan del Totumo close to the coastal Caribbean conurbation of Cartagena, in the course of the woodland of totumo plants that bestow the volcano its name, to divulge the coast of an extensive mere with Volcan de Totumo at its rim. The blend of stone streams from confined springs and the volcanic cinders left over from the times of yore upsurge create up the key apparatus of the volcanic sludge bathe.

The sludge is believed to boast therapeutic properties and close by in the crack of a petite volcano, more of a five layer lofty grime knoll than a crammed inferno heap glide on a pilaster of muck that extend a mile and a part behind into the terrain. Viewing this without doubt is one of the more atypical experiences in verve, so greatly mire overflowing that the rest of the planet would resonance as though it is sub aqua.

Clamber the precipitous timber flight of steps on the elevation of the volcano in your swim ensemble flanking the extravagant sight of the tarn and gawk behind at the timber steps encrusted with muck that enlarge ten feet into the fissure to the hoary muck underneath. The dirt is not chiefly attractive to stare at as it comprise the dowdy redden of unsullied bolster and whilst it don’t have a burly sulphuric pong, it still stink just as you would envisage deep, damp dirt.

Save for descending into it will be all placate striding off the steps, the mire will branch downy as stream and held up on the facade. The easiest poses are either being buoyant on your flipside or proclivity and there is zilch to perform but strive to keep the sludge out of orifice and loosen up and have the sense of hearing the natural world rancid in the loch, the breeze in the foliage, and luminous mirth from the volcano holing on top of you.

The muck is contentedly tepid and extremely jaunty in which you can’t be submerged in the material. It’s tricky to budge in the region of it but it is a bundle of enjoyment endeavouring to dig up from one end to the other. The variation of the sludge will scheme you with a few layers nippy, others balmy. At times it will sense as downy as finely liquefied bonbon, other times the graininess of the mud will skirmish your membrane akin to a placid exfoliate and tiny rocks stir between your touch.

Being encircled by the chunky, nippy muck possibly will sense out of the ordinary initially, hitherto eccentrically soothing and it is further knotty to stir in the region of than expected, and you don’t go down effortlessly as the dirt is extremely chunky and being pressed up as of out of the ground, so you finish up kind of dipping on the plane with sporadic suds and emanation of gab burble just about you. Just shove physically totally beneath the mire while you sense the state so incongruous and so outlandish where you can appear from your plunge sputtering sludge and controlled mirth.



However, the escapade is distant from ended as then it will be the moment to be inundated. As you dab the muck from your ogles and slither scrappily down the flight of steps on the slight of the volcano, women will come close to you and escort you along a conduit into the tarn and you can just seize your pant as pails of unsullied water are decanted over your cranium, touch wedged into the crevasses of ears, and mane massaged briskly as the women exert assiduously to sluice the sludge from your pelt, ears, beneath your nails and all over.

Both fractions of your swim ensemble would be towed from you submerged, of course, firmed against the stream and heaved gawkily back over again and you would be bewildered more or less at this ultimate bolt from the blue than at any of the muck self-indulgence, whilst you will before long take in that your swim costume had been swapped within an out, save for it is all an element of the exciting activity and an Alive is Awesome experince.
