Puerto Varas, Chile
ASH from Chile's spewing Calbuco volcano threatened on Saturday to spell travel misery in the region and beyond after it triggered the cancellation of domestic and international flights in several cities.
A sleeping giant for more than 50 years, the volcano sprang to life in spectacular bursts of ash and lava on Wednesday and Thursday, forcing 6,500 people living nearby to evacuate and blanketed southern Chile in suffocating volcanic debris.
