                   Chile Orders Area Around Volcano Evacuated

   by VOA News

   Chile has ordered a mandatory evacuation of a 25-kilometer radius
   around Copahue volcano on the border with Argentina.
   The 2,965-meter volcano, located in south-central Chile's Bio Bio
   region, has seen increasing seismic activity in recent weeks, but has
   not erupted.
   Chile's Interior and Security Minister Andres Chadwick says about 2,200
   people will be evacuated.
   In neighboring Argentina's Neuquen province, access to the volcano is
   closed within four kilometers.
   In 2011, ash from a Chilean volcano eruption forced the sporadic
   cancellation of hundreds of flights, especially in neighboring
   Argentina and Uruguay.
