"Chile's Villarrica Volcano Alert Raised to Amber"

Chile's National Geology and Mining Service has raised the alert level for the Villarrica volcano from yellow to amber due to a gradual increase in volcanic activity. Villarrica, one of South America's most active volcanoes, has a 200 meter-wide open crater and last erupted in 2015. The amber alert indicates a higher probability of an eruption occurring in the coming days or weeks.
