But although the fireworks display from the volcano was breathtaking, a major lava flow isn’t expected. Intermittent gas and steam continue to be erupted, although the situation remains volatile.
Glad nobody was injured as a result

Would be intense to see something like that in person.

Amazing images.
Everyone looks relaxed enjoying the sight, I assume they are very far from the eruption.

The local news channel here was showing what seemed to be more impressive footage than the YouTube video linked in that article. I wasn't actually paying too close attention to the narrative (as I was preoccupied) but apparently authorities are having to warn people to stay as far away as possible, saying, "It's not fireworks!" DUH! LOL. Needless to say, some people are just nuts.
I wonder how far north this will affect the weather the next week or so. I'm sorry for those down there in the midst of this natural disaster.
A spectacular Mordor-style eruption has hit the Villarrica volcano in southern Chile, spewing ash and lava up to 3 kilometers into the night sky and forcing the evacuation of nearby towns and villages.
Some 3,385 people have been moved from communities surrounding the volcano, according to the mayor of Pucon, a nearby town. Interior Minister Rodrigo Penailillo said there were no reports of any injuries.
