World Travel Watch: Puyehue Volcano Could Blow Again;

Hartford Courant: World Travel Watch: Puyehue Volcano Could Blow Again

Chile: Chile's National Service of Geology and Mining has warned that another eruption at the Puyehue volcano is possible after a cork of lava emerged, blocking more lava from spewing out of the mountain. The cork means that a build-up of pressure can occur, possibly leading to another massive explosion. Minor tremors continue to be measured around the volcano, increasing the potential for another eruption. Puyehue is the site of the June 4 blast that caused hundreds of flight delays and cancellations.
