Hiker Captures Moment of Calbuco's Eruption

Walter Witt was hiking in Chile’s Llianquihue National Reserve on Wednesday, April 22, enjoying the scenery. The hike took a dramatic turn, however, when the Calbuco volcano suddenly erupted, spewing a towering column of ash 12 miles into the sky – just as he was filming the volcano. Ash was still falling on parts of Chile and Argentina on Friday. Credit: YouTube/Walter Witt
