An erupting volcano ought to be a terrifying sight but when it's filmed as beautifully as this time-lapse video, it's nothing less than spectacular. The Calbuco volcano in Chile, dormant for 43 years, erupted on Wednesday evening and stunning footage captures the huge clouds of smoke and ash that mushroom into the sky.
The 22-second video, posted on YouTube by Rodgrrigo Barrera yesterday, shows a huge plume of ash towering over the 2,000 meter (6,500 foot) volcano, transforming into a huge white canopy of smoke that shrouds the landscape. The time-lapse has also managed to capture the volcanic lightning in the sky.
The eruption has caused large scale evacuations and flight cancellations in the areas around. Authorities have also declared a state of emergency in the affected parts, according to Agence France-Presse.
The video has already been viewed about two lakh times since it was posted. Watch it here:
