The volcano had been quiet for the last forty two years before erupting without warning.
An estimated one thousand and five hundred people were forced to flee the nearby town of Ensenada after the eruption, while several smaller townships were also cleared. The volcano is located near Puerto Varas the tourist attractive town and the Puerto Montt city, a little more than six hundred twenty miles south of Santiago the capital of Chile.
