Chile,fracking and etna

Fantastic pictures of Puyehue-Cordon Caulle volcano has erupted in Chile after a large earthquake at the weekend.Ash and debris are erupting from a 5km long fissure on the volcano. 4000 people have been evacuated.The ash has drifted over to Argentina and temporarily closed Beunos Aries Airport,flights in Chile and Uruguay.More lava eruptions could be coming so keep watching.

The Fracking issue rumbles on-literally.After several small earthquakes due to fracking near blackpool drilling has stopped. Fracking is the injection of high pressure fluids into gas bearing shales to release gas reserves.

Forgot to say that my June 1st etna anniversary has just passed. This is where the photo on the blog is on . Read the story here http://www.explorevolcanoes.com/new-volcano-travel-holidays.html
