Chile raises alert for Villarrica volcano to amber
Baku, September 25, AZERTAC
Chile's National Geology and Mining Service, Sernageomin, on Sunday raised the alert level for the Villarrica volcano from yellow to amber, citing a gradual increase in volcanic activity, according to Reuters.
One of South America's most active volcanoes, Villarrica has a 200 meter-wide open crater and last erupted in 2015, sparking a mass evacuation but ultimately no injuries.
An amber alert means there is a greater probability that an eruption will take place in the coming days or weeks.
