The current page says, quoting a BBC story, that locals have been "ordered" to stay indoors. I don't know if in english the word has a softer meaning, but we have been "suggested", literally, to do so, not ordered. I think the verb "to order" would imply, to outside readers, a much harder situation than the one we're actually living. I'm changing it, with a link to a local digital newspaper to back it up. Also, i've added a "citation needed" to the reports of power outages, since i've seen none. Where i live, we only had a few power fluctuations; and the local newspapers report nothing about shortages. I might be wrong, of course.

Damn. "Fixed" the wrong link. There we go again... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.172.134.163 ( talk) 00:38, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
... And now i refute myself: There were indeed localized power outages. I'm adding the citations now.
New scientist suggests [1] that the eruption may have been triggered by the 8.8 magnitude quake (from feb 27th 2011 [2])
So presume there should be a link to 2010_Chile_earthquake somewhere in this article - and possibly a link the other way too ? EdwardLane ( talk) 15:05, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
Some more useful reference material here [3] and here [4] — Preceding unsigned comment added by EdwardLane ( talk • contribs) 18:22, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
Bueneos aires airport closed ash currently on Brazil/Uruguay border Bueneos aires airport reopened. and various other bits that could probably make a section on Airtravle disruption - fair bit of info here [5] EdwardLane ( talk) 08:34, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
The eruption could continue for several weeks and Jorge Munoz of Chile's National Geology and Mines Service apparently expects lava flows and possibly even lahars - as reported here [6] is that reasonable to assume? And should it be in the article? EdwardLane ( talk) 08:34, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
No new information. It is not clear in the article that the erruption ceased around the 15th and no new ash has been added to the circumnavigating cloud. No new seismic updates in the last week. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.64.0.252 ( talk) 01:30, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
Volcanologist Gustavo Villarrosa is reported here [9] (in spanish) as saying that the puyehue volcano itself is not emitting material. So perhaps the article needs to be renamed EdwardLane ( talk) 11:05, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
There is a nice nasa animation of the ash shown on the spanish article - here's the link to that file - which has the link to the original source - I've not tried doing anything exciting with images on wikipedia so it's out of my league - please make a copy we can use in this article - or interwiki link to it somehow :)
Having looked briefly at the pictures on the news the prevailing winds seem to be from west to east? But the airtraffic disruption is now in newzealand region - which is roughly 10000km in the other direction (based on this image anyway - so has the ash swirled back to the west? or did the ash go all the way around to the east 18000km (and somehow pass australia but hit newzealand and then start drifting over australia)?
Can someone clarify that in the article if they can find a source that explains it Cheers EdwardLane ( talk) 22:27, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
2011 Chilean eruption , 2011 volcanic air travel disruption , 2011 Oceania volcanic ash emergency should probably redirect here, along with some others. 65.94.47.63 ( talk) 09:28, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
I was wondering whether a Air travel disruption after the 2011 Puyehue eruption article for the 2011 Puyehue eruption should be created? This would be analogous to the Air travel disruption after the 2010 Eyjafjallajökull eruption article. 65.94.47.63 ( talk) 10:13, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
This image has a scale showing how big that plume is here. Which suggests that the ash from this volcano has been deposited up to approximately 300km from the volcano, looking at the 'obvious ash' on the image above, that would mean the area covered would be approximately 75000km2 based on my thumbnail maths. Anyone seen reports giving area of ash type figures? If that's right this suggest that's an area about the same size as Lake Victoria or Austria has been covered in ash.
Maths behind the thumbnail figures I gave (if anyone is interested) the ash looks to have fallen in roughly and section of a circle 300km radius, 500km around the circumference.

There is NO Falkland Islands but Malvinas Islands. The same applies to a missnamed Stanley (or Port Stanley) Talk in spite of outdated Colonialist Jim Cameron , including bad diplomatic manners and explicit disrespect for International Law and Agreements (such as UNOs) 190.19.196.40 ( talk) 17:41, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
this page has various webcams for volcanoes in chile including 3 for Cordon Caulle - but don't forget the timezone may mean you can't see anything. EdwardLane ( talk) 09:38, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
This section got snipped out
and this section got added to the lead
I think both sections have some value: I think the second section should probably be trimmed in the lead and be somewhere in the main article (slightly reworded). And the clarification from the first section that the eruption was cordon caulle not puyehue remaining in the lead is important. If I get a chance I'll get round to it soon EdwardLane ( talk) 10:03, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

This definitely needs clarification as an atomic bomb can be any size from under 1 kT to 50 MT, a VERY wide size range. Petebutt ( talk) 07:10, 24 June 2012 (UTC)

It seems to me that the title should be 2011–2012 Puyehue-Cordón Caulle eruption given the fact that the eruption continued until April 2012. Volcano guy 22:17, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
The specified amount of "one hundred million tons of ash" is not compatible with a VEI = 5. The VOGRIPA database gives 390 million m³ of magma (DRE). Multiplied by the density of approx. 2.6 t/m³ results in a weight of 10^9 tons. Ten times more than the mentioned 100 million tons. Remember, the mentioned value was published very early, in July 2011, and only the press report was quoted. Sextant ( talk) 08:28, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
