"Since 12 August the eruption has continued without variation, and the plume has been carried SE. On 2 November, OVDAS-SERNAGEOMIN reported that the Alert Level for Cerro Hudson was lowered to Yellow, Level 4, noting that the eruption that began on 26 October had ceased. Ash samples (ranging to 0.1 mm in size) from Puerto Aisén contained abundant magnetite, pyroxene, plagioclase, and black glass shards. Newhall C G, Dzurisin D, 1988. Because most of the thick deposits on the steep mountainous terrain SE of the volcano are on and interleaved with snow, downslope movement and associated hydrological problems for the downstream valleys are certain to accelerate as the summer melting and rains begin. Nature of the materials. Gonzalez-Ferran O, 1972. Yuji Orihashi 1, José A. Naranjo 2, Akihisa Motoki 3, Hirochika Sumino 4, Daiji Hirata 5, Ryo Anma 6, Keisuke Nagao 7. ONEMI warned the communities of Aysén and Río Ibáñez, declaring a status of “Preventive Early Warning”, a level in between Green and Yellow. 08/1971 (CSLP 80-71) Mid-August eruption generates large plumes and lahars, 04/1973 (CSLP 43-73) Eruption on 5 April causes mud avalanches that bury two people and hundreds of animals, 05/1973 (CSLP 43-73) Temperature rise, not eruption, caused damaging April lahar, 07/1991 (BGVN 16:07) SO2 circles globe; aircraft encounter ash over Australia; >1 km3 airfall on Argentina, 08/1991 (BGVN 16:08) Basaltic fissure eruption preceded andesitic paroxysmal phase; strong winds rework major ash deposits, 09/1991 (BGVN 16:09) New mudflow and gas emission; details of major mid-August tephra fall, 10/1991 (BGVN 16:10) Eruption impact on livestock described, 11/1991 (BGVN 16:11) Large plumes on satellite images, probably wind-blown August tephra, 12/1991 (BGVN 16:12) Overflight reveals thick tephra and disruption of summit glaciers; many early-eruption lava flows, 03/1992 (BGVN 17:03) Sulfur odors; increased river flow and turbidity; fine August 1991 ash remobilized, 02/1993 (BGVN 18:02) Increased gas emission and mudflows, 02/1995 (BGVN 20:02) Sulfurous odors, noises, rising rivers, and thermal anomalies, 12/2013 (BGVN 38:12) October 2011 earthquakes and eruption with ash, causing evacuation, Mid-August eruption generates large plumes and lahars, Card 1280 (16 August 1971) Eruption causes property damage and cattle evacuation, "A volcano, presumable The Hudson, in Coihaique Department in southern Chile, has spread debris over an area of 60 km2 forcing the evacuation of 10,000 head of cattle and sheep from the area. However, the strong winds removed this protective cover, damaging pastures by the impact of the particles and by completely burying them under dune formations. ", Card 1283 (23 August 1971) Eruption plumes to 20,000 feet; five victims, "The Hudson Volcano entered a new phase of violent activity today (20 August). Scientists conducting an overflight noted that a gas plume with some ash rose 1 km above the craters and drifted 5-8 km NE. Privacy … Information Contacts: Card 1280 (16 August 1971) Instituto de Geologia y Geografia, Universidad Austral de Chile; Buenos Aires Ansa (radio), Argentina. Preliminary fluoride analyses on ash samples collected at different distances from Hudson were performed both before and after rainfall. Distribucion del volcanismo activo de Chile y la reciente erupcion del Volcan Villarrica. On 1 November, scientists observed an explosion and an accompanying ash plume that rose 1.5 km above the active craters. Weak fumarolic activity was visible at several summit vents and a small rockfall (landslide) on the caldera's N inner wall exposed altered rocks. 9 and the dashed black lines are the caldera rim (Narajo et al. Lava is molten rock that has been extruded onto Earth's surface. During another overflight on 28 October scientists observed a gas plume with a very low ash content rising 3-4 km above the craters. Delgado, F., Pritchard, M., Lohman, R., & Naranjo, J. In: Gonzalez-Ferran O (ed) Proc Symp Andean & Antarctic Volcanology Problems (Santiago, Chile, Sept 1974), Rome: IAVCEI, p 78-87. TOMS data from 1100 on the 14th revealed a segment of SO2-rich plume (probably the same as on the 13th) near South Georgia Island (2,600 km ESE of the volcano), and a second, smaller segment over the Falkland Islands. Similar activity was also reported during 10-13 April 1993 and a rainy summer season in 1991-1992 caused extensive reworking of pyroclastic debris, particularly down the Huemules river (BGVN 17:03). During another observation flight on 30 October, scientists saw plumes with minor ash rising 0.8 km from two of the three craters. We welcome users to tell us if they see incorrect information or other problems with the maps; please use the Contact GVP link at the bottom of the page to send us email. On 15 February, inhabitants of the Huemules valley 40 km NW of Hudson heard noises coming from the volcano. Information about large Quaternary eruptions (VEI >= 4) is cataloged in the, EarthChem develops and maintains databases, software, and services that support the preservation, discovery, access and analysis of geochemical data, and facilitate their integration with the broad array of other available earth science parameters. Eruption continued through August 26 but diminished in force as evidenced by disappearance of ash cloud. Some lavas are very In Santa Cruz Province, ash deposits originally ranged from 0.1 to 11 cm thick, but accumulations up to 150 cm thick were observed on the protected, downwind sides of obstacles in the zones affected by remobilization. Holocene explosive activity of Hudson volcano, southern Andes. or pillow fragments. Its outbursts produce enough lava each year to fill Chicago's Willis Tower (the former Sears Tower), a … Volcanic eruptions may be quiet outflows of lava which are so peaceful that one can stand close enough to toss in pebbles (or leis; see figure) or so explosively violent that they blow mountains apart and blast everything within a hundred miles to smithereens (not recommended for close observation). These are the first reported caldera observations since January 1992 (16:12). The largest found recently is the Nyiragongo Lava Lake that grew to a size of 2,300 feet wide in 1982. Second eruption July 16 reported at coordinate 45.73 S, 73.13 W. Eruptions continue through July 18. Constant fumarolic activity was observed, and there was an intense sulfur smell. A 1977 eruption of Nyiragongo created lava—an extremely low-viscosity mafic type—that traveled at an estimated 40 mph. No deformation or surficial changes were observed. This volcano has been the source of several major Holocene explosive eruptions. At about 2200 on 11 October, a mudflow, estimated to be 2-3 times larger than the 8 August mudflow (16:7), traveled 20 km NW down the Huemules valley, and SSW down the Cupquelán valley to reach the coast at Bahía Erasmo (45 km from the volcano). Card 1283 (23 August 1971) Instituto de Geologia y Geografia, Universidad Austral de Chile (via news media). Both civilian and military patrols are going to Huemules Valley to learn of the extent of the damage caused yb the volcanic lava. Due low visibility unable tell if reactivity is lateral or central. The eruption started with a phreato-magmatic explosion that produced a column almost 7-10 km high. Airline pilots reported sighting the plume as it passed near Melbourne, Australia (roughly 15,000 km from the volcano). On 13 August at 1415, a black ash-laden column was reported from a commercial airplane at >10 km altitude. Information Contacts: Alvaro Tobar B., Instituto de Investigaciones Geologicas, Santiago, Chile. Seismic shock grade 4 lasting 45 seconds recorded July 17 at 1505. Although weather clouds obscurred the eruption plume to visible and infrared satellite images on the 12th and much of the 13th, preliminary data from the Nimbus-7 satellite (TOMS) indicated 250,000 metric tons of SO2, within a disconnected section of the eruption cloud near the Falkland Islands at about 1100 on the 13th. The odor of sulfurous gas was noticeable everywhere in the area affected by ashfalls, but acid rain was only reported in Gobernador Gregores, 360 km ESE of the volcano, where H2SO4 produced light face and hand burns, and damaged roof paint. The temperatures of molten lava range from about 700 to 1,200 °C (1,300 to 2,200 °F). Sources: Servicio Nacional de Geología y Minería (SERNAGEOMIN); Oficina Nacional de Emergencia-Ministerio del Interior (ONEMI). Lava flows from Mount St. Helens typically affect areas within 6 mi (10 km) of the vent. The largest, southern-most crater emitted a plume with more ash that rose more than 5 km above the crater. Features are organized into four major categories: Cones, Craters, Domes, and Thermal Features. Minor Plinian eruptions had a recurrence interval of 500 to 1,000 years (Stern and Naranjo, in press). Eruptions of huge amounts of really Types of lava Show text Pahoehoe lava. These flows build up, creating submarine mountains and islands over time. The larger, southern-most crater emitted a plume with a greater ash content that rose 5 km above the crater. 2016: November "Just 20 years after the previous activity, Hudson started a new eruption on 8 August at 1820. No other SO2-rich plume was visible. Mount Etna often comes to life in short, violent bursts called paroxysms. Scientists aboard an overflight on 26 October observed a white plume with some ash content that rose 1.5 km and lahars in Rio Huemul, to the W. The Alert Level was raised to Level 5 - Red. Direct observations at 1250 showed an explosion from a new vent (Crater 2), about 2.5 km SSE of the first vent (Crater 1; figure 1). A very low-frequency M 4.3 earthquake occurred that same day at a depth of 15 km.Five earthquakes per hour were recorded between 1600 on 26 October and 1600 on 27 October. The following cable was received from the American Embassy on 25 August. The volcano's explosion was followed by a river of lava that has razed one house, cut several roads, and is damming the rivers. Prata, CSIRO, Australia; ICAO; Radio Nacional de Chile; AP. Atmospheric contamination. Stern, C.R., and Naranjo, J.A., in press, Summary of the Holocene eruptive history of the Hudson volcano, in Bitschene & Mendia (Eds.). Using infrared satellite Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data, scientists at the Hawai'i Institute of Geophysics and Planetology, University of Hawai'i, developed an automated system called MODVOLC to map thermal hot-spots in near real time. Kratzmann D J, Carey S, Scasso R, Naranjo J-A, 2009. The material can be very fluid, flowing almost like syrup, or it can be extremely stiff, scarcely flowing at all. A young phreatic eruption had produced a fan of reworked pyroclastic material 10 km to the E. Mudflow production has intensified as a result of strong geothermal activity increasing glacial melting. Smoke cloud between 10 and 15,000 feet. Earthquakes near Hudson recorded by the Worldwide Standardized Seismic Net on 14-15 August 1991. On 27 October, an M 3.6 VT earthquake occurred on the SW edge of the crater. Board/Apple graphic logo, and COTF Classroom of the Future logo are registered Shortly after the 12-15 August eruption, however, secondary water-and-pumice flows formed on the volcano's flanks during daily melting of the snow. Hudson produced one of the largest eruptions of the 20th century starting on 8 August 1991 from a fissure cutting the caldera rim. He only saw minor fumarolic activity, mainly discharging steam. Card 1286 (30 August 1971) Francisco Munizaga, University of Chile; American Embassy, Santiago, Chile. "This afternoon we learned that the Hudson was erupting with more intensity and that the lives of the inhabitants of Bahia (Eranco) are endangered. large, flat layer. New mudflow and gas emission; details of major mid-August tephra fall. If you keep pouring more and more "flows," you will get Seismicity fluctuated below ~ 10 recorded earthquakes/day through mid-October (figure 6), typical of levels since a rapid decrease following the paroxysmal eruption 12-15 August. Regional impact. gases dissolved in the liquid rock. "Prevailing winds during clear weather carried the column NNE (figure 2) over Puerto Chacabuco (50 km away), where 5-7 mm of ash was deposited. Fumarolic cloud is now principal. Part of the South Volcanic Zone of the Andes, its summit is 3,788 meters above sea level, and is capped by a summit crater that is 500 meters wide and opens to the north. Paroxysmal activity, 12-15 August. Extremely high values of fluorine (225 ppm water extractable) were obtained from the ash analyzed 4 days after the eruption. The eruption was reportedly characterized by a "giant fireball" and thick columns of smoke, as well as the ejection of lava and rocks. Historical unrest at large calderas of the world. Naranjo J A, Moreno R, Banks N G, 1993. Additional, smaller plumes were seen on 3 December satellite images. Seismicity increased, with felt earthquakes at Coyhaique (80 km NE) beginning at 2200, and a series of five large earthquakes (M>5) detected near Hudson by the WWSSN beginning at 2238 (table 1). When the winds stopped, four multidisciplinary groups of the Santa Cruz Volcanic Emergency Commission were able to enter the affected area, employing specially dust-protected trucks. Bull Volcanol, 59: 291-306. MODIS looks at every square km of the Earth every 48 hours, once during the day and once during the night, and the presence of two MODIS sensors in space allows at least four hot-spot observations every two days. This dense, elongate plume traveled in the lower stratosphere (12-16 km) without great dispersion, spanning a horizontal angle of only 15° during 12-15 August. The haze was faint grey, much like the material often trapped under a temperature inversion, and had a brownish-orange tinge. Ion chromatography using acetic acid extraction revealed fluoride levels ranging from nondetectable to 14 ppm in the samples collected 17-20 September. Seismic activity registered grades 3-5 before and after eruption and was limited to locality. When one is found the date, time, location, and intensity are recorded. Pyroclastic material on the SE-directed fan from the August 1991 eruption, between the Ibáñez and Murta rivers, was also extensively reworked during the 1991/92 summer. "Eleven people were evacuated from along the Huemules River on 11 August. The haze appeared uniform (not wispy) and there was no evidence of any trace of debris. The term lava is also used for the solidified rock formed by the cooling of a molten lava flow. Viscosity is a term that Information Contacts: Jose Antonio Naranjo, Servicio Nacional de Geologia y Mineria, Avenida Santa Maria 0104, Casilla 1347, Santiago, Chile. The flow was 50-300 m wide, with several broader sections, and covered recent scoria (8-10 August) in places. Holocene tephrochronology record of large explosive eruptions in the southernmost Patagonian Andes. Catalog number links will open a window with more information. Bad weather in the area of the eruption has prevented patrols from determining exactly where the eruption occurred, the amount of damage, and the number of victims. These ice blocks probably floated in the mudflow." The densest part of the clouds appeared to be ~250 km SE of the volcano, about halfway to the Argentine coast. Lava. 2020: December The lava lake at Mount Nyiragongo, which is located in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), is generally considered to be largest lava lake in recent history. [Event notification cards]. The Alert Level was raised to Yellow (second highest level on a four-color scale) on 22 December, based on the increased seismicity. Hudson volcano erupted on 5 April 1973 and showered ash over a 25-mile area. Bitschene estimated that more than 1 km3 of tephra was deposited in Argentina's Santa Cruz province [but see 16:8]. Since 19 August it has made the province an inferno of lava, ash, and telluric phenomena. On 31 October, scientists observed gas plumes rising 0.5 km above the craters and drifting SE.

Stern, Univ of Colorado, Boulder; A.J. The proximal fallout layer is about 1-5 m thick with individual pumice clasts up to 40 cm in diameter. "A second, larger eruption started at about 1200 on 12 August. Pumiceous ballistic bombs 1 m in diameter were found 10 km from the vent, where tephra-fall deposits were >2.5 m thick. [ Sizes of Eruptions ] [ Volcano However, on the W side of the volcano, irregular meltwater flows from the Huemules glacier carried a large amount of pyroclastic material down the Huemules river. Roughly 50-60,000 sheep and cattle are located within the airfall zone. Smithsonian Institution-CSLP, 1968-75. On 1 November scientists observed an explosion and an accompanying ash plume that rose 1.5 km above the active craters. Residents of Murta (60 km SSE) and Puerto Tranquilo (80 km SSE) reported headaches and nausea at 1500. These aa-like flows had developed conspicuous levees and central channels with curved ridges. Fournier, T. J., M. E. Pritchard, and S. N. Riddick, 2010. Small fragments of glassy lava, commonly Rapid cooling and fracturing (granulation) of altered to palagonite; found disaggregated as lava in contact with water, in some cases hyaloclastites in association with lava pillows followed by spallation. Res., 84: 239-256. Geophys. One of the largest eruptions of the 20th century began on 8 August 1991 from a fissure cutting the caldera rim (16:7-12, and 17:3). SO2 circles globe; aircraft encounter ash over Australia; >1 km3 airfall on Argentina. More than 100 events, with depths ranging from 15 to 25 km, were recorded through the next day; 12 of the events were M 3, and three events were M 4. One earthquake per hour was recorded between 1600 on 27 October and 1600 on 28 October. Various green ponds were distributed along the glacier. At Puerto Aisén (~ 65 km NNE), ash accumulations reached 5 mm in 16 hours. Argentine officials have expressed concern over the >2 million sheep and 3,000 cattle in the affected region. On 12 August, the volcano entered a paroxysmal phase, after four days of lesser explosive activity. You can A rise in temperature produced a 70% melting of the ice cover in the crater area.". In response to reports that large numbers of sheep deaths were due to high fluoride levels from ash, an investigation was conducted by U.S. Centers for Disease Control personnel in cooperation with the Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance. Information Contacts: SERNAGEOMIN (Southern Andes Volcanological Observatory-National Geology and Mining Service), Avda Sta María No. Geothermal activity was not present in the NE part of the caldera. Location at coordinates 45.33 S, 73.5 W at headwaters River Huemules, 120 km SE Coyhaique, 30 km N Mount San Valentin. Density measured on 39 pumice samples ranged from 0.61 to 1.05 g/cm3.

Most of the earthquakes were volcano-tectonic events with magnitudes lower that 3.6 and located W of the caldera at depths between 3 and 25 km. Concentric cracks were visible in the thick ice surrounding the 800-m-wide Crater 2. Ash from the August 12-15 paroxysmal eruption, which … The wax spreads out into a Prior to the overflight, on 6 February 1995 a pilot flying near the Chile-Argentina border (close to Balmaceda, 45.52°S, 72.43°W) noted "strong volcanic activity." Analysis of fine fractions of the Chilean deposits suggest that downwind (Argentinean) fluorine values will not be significantly higher.". a large, but almost flat pile of wax. Rev Geol Chile, 30: 23-37. Pyroclastic flows were mostly restricted to the caldera floor, and a lava flow traveled 4 km down the WNW flank. Lava tends to be slow-flowing and thick in the Overworld, so most players can escape in time. Ash covering 100-150 km area. The N part of the 8-9 August fissure vent (16:8), 1.5 km long, ~200 m wide, and 100 m deep, showed sparsely distributed steam fumes. Card 1282 (17 August 1971) Instituto de Geologia y Geografia, Universidad Austral de Chile; Radio Patagonia Chilena, Chile. Within the crater, glacier fragments and ponds of green and pale-brown water were visible. Associated with this was a strong smell of sulfurous gas which entered the aircraft and was noticed by the crew and passengers. "runny," not quite like water, but more like warm honey or hot wax. 8 on the Mount Michael, an active volcano on remote Saunders Island in … On 16 August, shortly after tephra fall had effectively ceased, a strong wind began to blow (surface winds of up to 110 km/hour are common in Patagonia), lasting for a week. Lava flows can destroy all structures in their paths, but they advance so slowly that they seldom endanger people. Lava flows typically follow stream drainages and … Information Contacts: SAB; G. Stephens, NOAA/NESDIS; N. Banks, USGS; Buenos AiresHerald. The ash was not from a recent eruption, but was entirely due to reworking of volcanic ash in dry, windy Santa Cruz Province, Argentina.
