The eruption of Calbuco volcano in Chile this week has forced airlines to cancel flight and upended the lives of thousands people who live in the area and have been evacuated.
Disaster relief efforts, including water supplies, are being sent to the area. Fortunately, there have been no reports of deaths or serious injuries.
According to Chilean officials, the volcano is expected to erupt at least once more — on top of the two eruptions already — suggesting we'll see more of the beautiful photos like the ones below.
