Puyehue-Cordon Caulle volcano

A brown ash plume from the Puyehue-Cordon Caulle volcano chain in south-central Chile rises above the clouds in this natural-colour image captured by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiomter on the Aqua satellite taken shortly after an eruption began on June 4, 2011. The volcano, dormant for decades, belched ash over 10km into the sky, as winds fanned it towards neighbouring Argentina, and prompted the government to evacuate several thousand residents.
