    Volcanic ash blankets town and lake in Argentina

    Officials in the Argentine town of Villa La Angostura have asked for the area to be declared an emergency zone after up to a foot of ash fell in the area, and the Health Ministry has deployed psychologists to counsel anxious residents, Reuters reports.

    Ash from a volcanic eruption in Chile's Puyehue-Cordon Caulle chain cover parts of the water surface of the Nahuel Huapi Lake in the Argentine resort town of Villa La Angostura on June 16. A volcano across the border in Chile erupted on June 4 after being dormant for decades, sending a towering cloud of ash into the air and forcing the cancellation of hundreds of flights as far away as Australia.

    @Chopswell - Current understanding of previous periods of mass extinction seems to point to an extraterrestrial cause, that is an impact from an asteroid, rather than any geological event. Gaea, like any other 'God' or 'Goddess', would be better discussed on a religous thread.

    Surfers paddle past icebergs covered in ash from the Grimsvotn volcano eruption, in the glacier lagoon at the base of Vatnajokull, Iceland, May 26.

    The Grimsvotn volcano has made for some incredible images, and apparently is becoming less of a threat.

    A member of a rescue team checks on a farmer near to Kirkjubaearklaustur, approx. 260 km from Reykjavik, Iceland, Monday, May 23, 2011. A dense cloud of ash from an Icelandic volcano was being blown toward Scotland Monday, forcing two airlines to cancel their flights, U.S. President Barack Obama to cut short his visit to Ireland and carriers across Europe to fear a repeat of the huge disruptions that stranded millions of passengers a year ago.

    Picture taken on 23 May 2011 at around 10:00 AM GMT shows a man cleaning his car from volcanic ashes in the village of Kirkjubaejarklaustur, in the south of Iceland. Airspace over Iceland was closed 23 May 2011 after the North Atlantic country?s most-active volcano continued to spew ash. The plume above the Grimsvotn volcano was Monday estimated to be between 8-10 kilometres, the Icelandic Meteorological Office said. The volcano began to erupt 21 May 2011, and the plume was initially more than 20 kilometres high.
