May 6, 2008After 9,000 years of silence, Chile's Chaitin volcano (pictured on May 3) is erupting with lava, ashand lightning (full story).
智利的Chaitin火山在沉寂9000年后爆发，图为爆发是的岩浆，火山灰和发出的光芒


Chile's Chaitin volcano has sent ash as high as 12 miles (19 kilometers) into the sky
火山灰到达12英里（19公里）


Updated May 9, 2008—Five of Futaleufú, Chile's 7,000 cattle rest in volcanic ash on May 4, 2008.
*7000牲口在火山灰中
The source of the ash, the Chaitén volcano about 75 miles (120kilometers) away, began erupting May 2. It could continue spewing ashfor weeks, experts say (full story).
*火山灰在空中漂浮至75英里（120公里）外，将持续几周
On Thursday residents within a 30-mile (50-kilometer) radius of the volcano were forced to evacuate the area as explosions of fiery rocks continued to spew from the mountain.
*50公里半径范围内的居民疏散

Seen from space on May 3, the plume from the Chaitin volcano driftsacross the Andes mountains, Chile's eastern border, and the width of Argentina.

When Kilauea volcano's Puu Oo vent was active I visited it often. Onthis particular cold January morning the winds were light, whichallowed the superheated gases and steam to rise straight up into thesky from the glowing and spattering vents within Puu Oo. The cold airpushed the hot plumes back down in a swirling motion at sunrise. Thisallowed for the beautiful colors. Shot with a Nikon Dslr and the Nikon10.5 lens from the north rim of Puu Oo vent. 30-second exposure.

The Pacific smolders as lava from Hawaii's KilaueaVolcano hits the ocean. Kilauea is a shield volcano, or a low, gentlysloping volcano built almost entirely from basaltic lava flows. It isone of five such volcanoes that make up Hawaii's Big Island. Photograph by Chris Johns
*夏威夷Kilauea火山的岩浆入海时的情景
Kilauea火山是盾状火山，低矮斜坡型的火山由玄武岩熔岩流形成，夏威夷有5个这样的火山

Perched above the lighted city of Catania, Italy,Mount Etna hurls a fountain of fire skyward as rivers of lava spilldown its flanks. In spite of its dazzling displays, Mount Etna is arelatively safe volcano with rare, compact eruptions and slow-flowinglava that gives people a chance to escape.Photograph by Carsten Peter
