An ash plume is seen, after two days of continuous emissions at the Puyehue-Cordon Caulle volcano chain, in this image which combines visible and infrared imagery from the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-East (GOES-East) with colour imagery from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) taken on June 6.
The ash plume extends more than 1,000 nautical miles (1,900 km/1,181 miles), from Chile, over the coast of Argentina, and out into the Atlantic Ocean.
A plume of light-coloured ash stretches along the edge of the Andes in this natural-colour satellite image acquired by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard Terra on the morning of June 6, 2011, as the eruption at the Puyehue-Cordon Caulle volcano chain continues.
The volcano, dormant for decades erupted in south-central Chile, has begun belching an ash cloud more than six miles (10 km) high that blew over the Andes and carpeted a popular ski resort in neighbouring Argentina.
