Chile Volcano
Continues 1st Eruption
in 9,000 Years
Chile's Chaiten Volcano
continued to spew ash
into the sky Sunday as
President Michelle
Bachelet toured shelters
crammed with evacuees
fleeing the catastrophe
in the nation's southern
region.
Roiling clouds of
volcanic ash loomed
overhead as Michelle
Bachelet visited the
town of Chaiten and
spoke with a few
remaining residents.
Evacuees sought their
president's support to
rebuild the town of
4,500 outside the path
of the volcano, which
experts said roared to
life Thursday for the
first time in at least
9,000 years.
