BBC News website: Chile Eruption Spurs Evacuations
Authorities in Chile have ordered the complete evacuation of two towns after a volcano erupting nearby increased its activity, spewing out lava and ash.

Chaiten volcano in the southern Patagonia region began erupting on Friday for the first time in 450 years, taking local officials by surprise.

"Today the volcano is erupting with pyroplastic material on a different scale," he told Reuters news agency.

"We presume lava is flowing and so have ordered the immediate precautionary evacuation of all civilians, military and press in Chaiten."
