The Chilean volcano showed new signs of activity in the recent days and so residents are having to prepare for the potential eruption.

Back in January 2008 and again in May 2008, the volcano was showing signs of an eruption. The image below is one taken during an electric storm.
At the time there were fears that Mt Chaiten would continue to release ash into the atmosphere for months (See video). As a result, a huge area around the volcano had to be evacuated but ash was carried by the wind across large parts of South America, prompting fears of a major health crisis.
