SANTIAGO, Chile — The Calbuco volcano erupted again on Wednesday, sending dark burst of ash and hot rock billowing into the air and prompting Chilean officials to order new evacuation of nearby residents.
A thick plume poured from the 6,500-foot (2,000-eter) cone, bringing the threat of new, heavy ash fall over villagers struggling to clean up from two huge blasts last week.
The eruptions at the Calbuco are the first in more than four decades. About 4,500 people have been evacuated since the Calbuco roared back to life on April 22, sending ash about 11 miles (18 kilometers) into the sky.
