Достигшая Чайтена 16-го числа лава вновь привела к эвакуации населения и расползлась по округе настолько, что достигла даже соседней страны – Аргентины (провинция Чубут).





-------------------------------------
Vulcan Chayten (Chaiten) declared himself quite recently. When on May 2, 2008 in the south of Chile, near Korkovado's gulf (region Los-Lagos), in 10 km to the northeast of the small town of Chaiten strong eruption began, locals long couldn't believe that such is possible, – before the volcano didn't prove for 10 thousand years in any way! Powerful emission of a lava, more than 30 km high, for some three-four days reached Chaiten then almost all population in a radius more than 50 km was evacuated. Since June 22, and up to February 16, 2009 the volcano periodically threw out ashes columns in the sky. The lava which reached Chaiten of the 16th led to evacuation of the population again and crept away after the district so that reached even the neighboring country – Argentina (province Chubut).
Eruption of Chaiten had a great influence, both on the surrounding district, and on destinies of the people living here. Because of change of the bed of the nearby rivers the city of Chaiten, besides volcanic danger, was put also under flood threat. Thereof the authorities of the country plan to transfer it to a safe place, having turned the buildings which remained after resettlement of people and the vicinity into tourist object, a peculiar live museum of a volcano Chaiten.
For all comers to visit a real miracle of the nature we report: volcano height above sea level makes 1122 meters. The caldera of Chaiten has diameter about 3 km. At the bottom of a caldera settle down some kraternykh of lakes. In 15 km from Chaiten there is one more volcano – Michinmauida.
