A mile-high cloud of ash billows out of the Copahue volcano on the border with Argentina, putting officials on high alert.<\/h1>\n

Officials issued a yellow and orange alert at first but Chile’s emergency office Onemi raised the alert after a mile-high cloud of ash billowed out of the Copahue volcano.<\/p>\n

“Authorities have overflown the volcano area and the alert is still red,” said Gilda Grandon, from Onemi’s BioBio unit.<\/p>\n

“We have noted some drop in the ash plume but the alert level is maintained because a full eruption is not ruled out.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Mining Ministry’s Sernageomin geology unit has recommended careful observation of a nine-mile radius around the active crater in case of mudflows of volcanic fragments.<\/p>\n

Officials say there is no need yet to evacuate.<\/p>\n

The 2,967m-high Copahue last erupted in 1991. Some 20 years later, in 2001, it became highly active with blasts and gases.<\/p>\n

A volcano in the Caulle Cordon of southern Chile erupted violently last year, forcing the cancellation of hundreds of flights and the evacuation of more than 3,500 people.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
