Video camera is taking time lapse photos of Villarrica Volcano

*****************************
From September 2nd 2006 a video camera with a telephoto lens captures
images of the active Villarrica volcano, in the southern Andes of Chile.
The camera was installed 9 Km NE from the vent and takes photos every 10
sec, allowing to collect over time ash clouds and gas emissions and by
night, the characteristic reddish glowing due to the reflection of the
deep lava pond on the gas cloud. Once every month the more than 250,000
pictures will be processed and transfered into video files for further
analysis.
Following the URL below you will be able to see a short video clip
showing an example of this promising technology.
This new tool will contribute to a better understanding of the dynamic
processes occurring at the crater of Villarrica, one of Chile's most
active volcanoes.
