Las cenizas del volcán Puyehue
FHPL14. ESPACIO, 12/6/2011.- Fotografía facilitada por la NASA hoy, domingo, 12 de junio de 2011, que muestra una imagen de satélite tomada por el espectroradiómetro de imágenes de resolución moderada (MODIS) en la que se aprecia una nube de ceniza de la erupción del complejo volcánico Puyehue-Cordón Caulle situado en el sur de Chile, que cruza el continente sudamericano a una altura de unos 12 kilómetros. La llegada a Australia de la nube de ceniza producida por la erupción del volcán chileno Puyehue-Cordón Caulle dejó hoy en tierra a varios miles de viajeros afectados por la cancelación de vuelos en la región.

Hace 14 días que el volcán chileno Puyehue entró en erupción creando el caos en el transporte aéreo del cono sur. Tras la magnífica acogida del anterior post “El volcán Puyehue” donde mostraba las impactantes imágenes de la erupción, he decidido recopilar lo llegado a la redacción sobre las cenizas de este fenómeno geológico. Hoy estas cenizas han dado la vuelta a la tierra volviendo a Chile tras pasar por los cielos de Argentina, África y Australia. Las fotos realizadas desde los satélites reflejan a la perfección este viaje.
Espero que os guste esta edición gráfica sobre las cenizas del volcán Puyuhue y los trágicos y siniestros paisajes que han formado.
A cloud of ashes billows from the Puyehue volcano near Osorno, 870 km south of Santiago, on June 17, 2011. The ash cloud from a Chilean volcano that disrupted flights and stranded travelers as far away as Australia returned after its own round-the-world tour on Friday, civil aviation officials said. The cloud from the Puyehue volcano, high in Chile’s Andes, disrupted travel across South America, Australia and New Zealand for several days following its eruption on June 4, stranding thousands of travelers.

The image shows the plume of ash now blowing to the east over Argentina in what almost appears to be a 90 degree triangle. Travel chaos from the Chile ash cloud spread to Western Australia on Wednesday with Virgin, Qantas and Jetstar suspending flights into and out of Perth. Several other international services from the city were also cancelled, including a South African Airlines flight to Johannesburg and Tiger Airways to Singapore.

The Puyehue-Cordón Caulle Volcano erupted on June 4, sending clouds of ash high into the atmosphere. Within 48 hours of eruption, the plume was measured at 15 kilometers (50,000 feet) above the Earth, high enough to pass above the weather that usually breaks up lower lying ash plumes. At this high altitude, the ash entered the jetstream, which carried it rapidly eastward.

The eruption at Chile?s Puyehue-Cordón Caulle Volcanic Complex sent clouds of ash high into the atmosphere, above the weather that usually breaks up such plumes. The CALIPSO satellite recorded the plume 15 kilometers (50,000 feet) above the Earth on the second day of the eruption, and the volcano continues to push ash into the atmosphere. At these high altitudes, the ash entered the jetstream and blew quickly eastward.This June 13, 2011 NASA Earth Observatory image captured by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on the Aqua satellite shows a concentrated plume that was visible more than half a world away over Australia and New Zealand. The image shows the ash plume view east over New Zealand and the South Pacific Ocean. The eruption of the Puyehue volcano, high in the Andes in southern Chile, entered a second week, spewing ash that has disrupted air travel on a scale unseen since the volcanic cloud over Iceland paralyzed Europe in 2010.

Divers of the Prefectura Naval Argentina inspect the Rio Limay covered with ash from Chile’s Puyehue-Cordon Caulle volcano chain at the mountain resort of San Carlos de Bariloche in Argentina’s Patagonia June 16, 2011. Some towns in Argentina’s Patagonia remain blanketed in volcanic ash. Airline activity is getting back to normal after days of chaos caused by a towering ash cloud, but Andean towns are covered in a thick, ashed blanket that is disrupting water and power supplies and raising fears over the key winter ski season that starts next month.

A vehicle belonging to Argentina’s border police (Gendarmeria Nacional) rides by a path covered by ash from Chile’s Puyehue-Cordon Caulle volcano chain, in Villa Llanquin hamlet, near San Carlos de Bariloche June 17, 2011. A volcano across the border in Chile erupted on June 4 after being dormant for decades, sending a towering cloud of ash into the air and forcing the cancellation of hundreds of flights as far away as Australia. Air traffic is gradually getting back to normal, but many residents of hard-hit Patagonian towns are without electricity and water, fearing for livestock left without grazing pasture and for the start of the southern hemisphere’s winter season.

Footprints in volcanic ashes accumulated near the Puyehue volcano, close to Osorno, 870 km south of Santiago on June 7, 2011. Dozens of South American flights had to be scrapped Tuesday because of the huge cloud of volcanic ash spewing from a Chilean volcano, as fears grew of possible landslides near the eruption. So far 4,000 people have been evacuated from 22 rural Chilean communities surrounding the Puyehue volcano, which rumbled to life on Saturday after showing no activity since 1960, when it erupted following a magnitude 9.5 earthquake.
