Calbuco erupted and threw bursts of ash and lava on Wednesday and Thursday, forcing over 6,000 people living in nearby areas to evacuate.
Ash from the volcano clogged the air in the Southern Cone region of South America, causing delays and cancellations for flights to and from Argentina, Chile and even some parts of Uruguay.
