Chaiten is building up for what could be another pyroclastic eruption. Scientists are recording deep seismic activity as magma moves towards the surface.
Near Chaiten, Llaima volcano erupted for the third time with a lava flow working its way down from the summit. The image above is from the January 2008 eruption.
This is Ecuador's Reventador volcano which is erupting ash at the moment but with no immediate danger to the city of Quito.
At Okmok Caldera, the alert has been downgraded to 'orange'. It's still producing an ash column but it's less than 20,000 feet high.

Things be getting a tad warm in the old town tonight!
It's a bit of a worry if you look at the map and these eruptions go right up the west coasts of South and North America.
It's http://volcanism.wordpress.com if the FeralBeast is interested.
I've got my own ring of fire this morning after that vindaloo I had last night.
Poor Fleety, turn vegetarian, you'll live longer but you won't enjoy it.
Is it true what Cameraface said, about getting chips with your curry?
Earthquake in Los Angeles now.
"...turn vegetarian.."? Don't tell me you haven't heard of vegetarian curries..........
River, you are so right, I forgot the chillies.
Witchy,
Curry and chips is a Great British classic. Almost as obnoxious as one of those floating pie things you serve in Oz. As for becoming a vegetarian, it was a vegetable vindaloo. Those veggies are dangerous things to eat, believe me.
