The glow from Villarrica volcano as seen at night from Pucón, Chile (photo by Ivan Alvarado).

I lived for 2 years on Temuco and I was able to see Villarrica volcano from my kitchen window. Every day I went to do the dishes I wondered how it would look in a situation like this. Obviously, it started activity like 10 years after I came back to Santiago... My mom still lives there and she saw the volcano flashing a couple of years ago. She even called me on the phone before it went on mainstream media.
